For this year, Hongcheon County has set the goal of becoming "a place where youth can work, reside, and communicate." To achieve this, the county has defined four major strategies: establishing comprehensive support policies for youth, expanding support for youth employment policies, strengthening residential conditions, and promoting youth participation.

To put these strategies into action, 12 departments will implement a total of 34 projects—32 ongoing tasks and 2 new initiatives—across five key areas: employment, housing, education and vocational training, finance/welfare/culture, and participation/infrastructure. The county plans to allocate a budget of 13.8 billion won for these projects.

Through this implementation plan, Hongcheon County will focus its administrative resources on promoting youth policies more stably and improving the overall quality of life for local youth.

Meanwhile, on April 9, Hongcheon County convened the Youth Policy Committee in the County Office's Administration Situation Room, where the "2026 Hongcheon County Youth Policy Implementation Plan" was reviewed and approved.

The committee meeting was attended by 11 members, including Vice Governor Park Kwang Yong, who serves as chairperson. The members shared updates on the implementation status of youth policy projects carried out in Hongcheon County in 2025 and finalized the 2026 Youth Policy Implementation Plan.

Vice Governor Park Kwang Yong stated, "We will continue to seek diverse support measures to help youth settle in the community stably and strive to increase satisfaction with youth policies."
