Geumcheon-gu Youth Participation Committee Officially Launched

Appointment of 14 Youth Representatives for Geumcheon-gu
Roles Include Planning Youth Festivals, Policy Monitoring, Living Condition Surveys, and Operation of Public Forums

Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) announced on the 5th that it held the “14th Geumcheon-gu Youth Participation Committee Appointment Ceremony” to activate policy participation among local youth.

The appointment ceremony was the official launch event of the Youth Participation Committee, which allows young people to directly participate in local community policies and projects. Fourteen youth committee members representing Geumcheon-gu were newly appointed.

The Youth Participation Committee is an organization established to guarantee youth autonomy, enhance policy effectiveness, and promote their rights. It operates so that youth can play an active role as participants rather than just beneficiaries of policies.

At the event, there was a time to present appointment certificates and share future activity plans. The committee members expressed their commitment to contributing to the local community with a sense of responsibility as representatives of Geumcheon-gu youth.

Now in its 14th term, the Youth Participation Committee plans to carry out various activities throughout 2025, including △ youth policy monitoring △ youth living condition surveys △ operation of policy proposal forums. They will play a practical role in making Geumcheon a city where youth are happy.

Meanwhile, on the same day, the youth leader joint workshop “Geumcheon Univ” was also held. Leaders from middle and high school student councils and youth training facility autonomous organizations gathered in one place to strengthen leadership and establish a foundation for mutual cooperation through leadership lectures, networking activities, and youth-led idea planning.

In particular, at this workshop, various ideas proposed by youth leaders were reflected in the “1st Geumcheon-gu Youth Month Commemoration Festival.” These ideas will be linked to future policy proposal discussions and lead to the development of practical youth policies.

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, “The voice of youth is the foundation for the future of the region,” and added, “We will actively support youth so that they can take the lead in participating in community change.”
