South Korean regional youth support initiatives

Overview

Local governments in South Korea are establishing specialized centers to assist at-risk youth, specifically targeting those experiencing social isolation, withdrawal, or family caregiving responsibilities.

In Jeju Province, the Jeju Youth Future Center Onbaram was launched to support approximately 4.7% of the local youth population identified as reclusive. The center utilizes a six-stage system ranging from online communication and counseling to career exploration and social reintegration.

Similarly, Daejeon City opened the Daejeon Youth Future Center at Daejeon Station. This facility focuses on two groups: youth facing educational and employment hurdles due to family caregiving duties, and those experiencing social isolation. The center provides psychological support, case management, and connections to medical and welfare services, operating under the ‘Act on Support for At-Risk Children and Youth, Including Family Caregivers’.
