The center said it is operating the hand-knitting club "Naekkum Tteugae" for out-of-school youth from November 4 to November 25.

The program was designed to give young people who have discontinued their studies opportunities to learn new skills and develop themselves, and to teach them the value of sharing through the experience of giving handmade crafts to the local community.

The club will meet four times over the course of a month and will focus on hands-on practice.

The crafts made with care by the young participants are scheduled to be donated to local senior citizens, adding a meaningful social engagement component to the program.

Park Jeongbae, director of the Goryeong County Out-of-School Youth Support Center, said, "We hope the young people will gain a sense of achievement through the club activities and build positive relationships with their peers." He added, "We will support a range of tailored programs to help out-of-school youth grow into healthy members of society and become self-reliant."

Meanwhile, Goryeong County Kkumdream provides a range of tailored services for out-of-school youth aged 9 to 24, including academic support, career experiences, employment assistance, and health checkups.

The program is meaningful because small skills learned through knitting lead to acts of sharing with neighbors.

It is hoped that this will give out-of-school youth an opportunity to discover their potential and grow into members of society.
