[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] Yongin City announced on the 17th that it is recruiting 100 young adults to participate in the ‘Third Youth Policy Network,’ which expands opportunities for youth policy participation and discovers and proposes city youth policies.

The Yongin Youth Policy Network (hereinafter referred to as YYN) is a youth participation body where young people, based on autonomous participation, show interest in various youth issues and propose policies to resolve them.

Participants will be divided into various departments including employment, housing, welfare and culture, and participation and rights, where they will discover and propose policy agendas and conduct monitoring activities.

The activity period runs for one year from July 1 of this year through June 30 of next year. During the activity period, participants receive activity allowances and can receive education to develop policy discovery capabilities.

Any young person aged 18 or older and under 39 who resides or works in Yongin can apply.

Young people wishing to apply can submit their applications through a Google Form by June 10 of next month by referring to the Yongin City website (www.yongin.go.kr) or the Yongin Youth LAB website (www.yylab.kr). Scanning the QR code on the promotional poster will take you directly to the application page.

A city official stated, “Since young people should be the main actors in youth policies, we hope that young people engaged in various activities participate and take the opportunity to realize problems they have felt in their daily lives through policy,” added the official.
