Youth Hub provides an open forum for mutual learning, supports youth’s self-support activities and meet-ups,

and designs a forum for experiencing a new kind of labor and public work.

2013 Youth Hub annual report01 Youth, putting their heads together

Young people with different backgrounds came together at the Youth Hub.Though their interests were different, their discussion was more heated than ever.

One after another, they proposed ideas on how to work together and promised that they would support each other.

Trusting others and receiving trust, coming up with ways to prosper together.We believe that the new experience of our youth who put their heads together will create a new order that sustains you and me, us, our community, and our society.

Youth Hub supports the cooperative network among our youth.

2013 Youth Hub annual report

What kind of work should our youth do?What a serious question. The wall called “Reality” sometimes appears too cold to touch.

Is it too much to ask if our youth want to make an independent living with pride,doing what they want to do, tapping on their own originality and talent,

doing something helpful to others and makes our world a healthier place?Youth Hub puts out programs based on the goals and sensibility of our youth,

reflecting the challenges of Seoul - our capital city whose citizens lead a happy life,and allowing us to experience, imagine and create together

a new kind of labor and public work.

Work,what we experience, imagine,

and do together

A school that fosters young talents based on hands-on experience to respond to new social changes

We look after the stepping ground on which our youth stand and illuminating the path in front of them.

Most importantly, we study the faces of our youth todayand their everyday life, joy and worries

in an attempt to find the answer.Waves of change are rushing in, sounding like a cool breeze, waves of change that our youth will embrace and recreate.

We, at Youth Hub, open our ears wide to the world, research and recapitulate,and seek ways to ensure a bright and hopeful future for our youth.
