Jangan-gu Operating Youth Jangan Love Volunteer Corps

Jangan-gu Office in Suwon City (District Chief Lim Byung-seok) is operating the "Youth Jangan Love Volunteer Corps" to provide volunteer opportunities for students during the winter break and enable them to participate in the local community.

The Youth Jangan Love Volunteer Corps operation addresses the inconvenience of insufficient volunteer opportunities compared to the number of students interested during the winter break period. The office recruits students who wish to participate from each school and certifies 4 hours of volunteer activity for participating students to foster interest in the local community and participation in volunteer work.

As a result, 1,046 students from nine middle and high schools are participating over 18 days from the 8th to the 31st, with an average of 58 students per day organized into groups of four. They are collecting illegal posters and flyers from 18 vulnerable areas including back streets, residential peripheries and other neighborhoods after receiving training on cleanup methods and safety accident prevention.

A district official said, "Through students' street cleaning activities and practical experience with waste sorting, they will contribute to fostering civic pride and legal awareness regarding the local community, while creating a more pleasant environment."
