Yongin City Operates 'One-Day Classes' to Help Youth Master Home Repairs

[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hun] Yongin Special City is operating a 'Home Repair Education One-Day Class' at Yongin Youth LAB Suji to help young people learn how to carry out home repairs on their own.

According to Yongin City on the 8th, for young people who have begun living independently for various reasons such as school and work, large and small home repairs are not simple issues.

This is because seeking help from family members living separately or receiving assistance from management offices or contractors can become an economic burden.

Accordingly, the education program is conducted with both theory and practical training covering power tool usage, door handle replacement, painting, silicone application, and drain replacement.

The program runs from the 16th through October 5, with classes held on Tuesday afternoons from 2-4 p.m. in August, and Wednesday afternoons from 2-4 p.m. in September and October.

Young people interested in participating can apply through the Yongin Youth LAB website (www.yylab.kr), Instagram (@yonginyouthlab), and Facebook (@용인청년공간).

Any youth aged 18 to 39 can participate, and the program is free of charge.

A city official stated, "We hope many will participate in this program that can be helpful to increasingly growing single-person household youth," and added, "We will continue to develop diverse programs that can provide practical assistance to young people."
