Welfare of Youth
"Illuminate your blind spots so your birth environment doesn't determine the size of your dreams."
We connect people in desperate need with tailored support, such as young people preparing for
independence and reclusive loners.
We realize 'equality of opportunity' so that all young people can dream of tomorrow from an equal starting line.
"A warm support system that illuminates blind spots, ensuring no one is left behind."
Education, counseling, academic, and research activities and youth welfare project operation in accordance with the Youth Welfare Support Act
Future Generation Welfare is an initiative that ensures equal opportunities for young people and youth by providing tailored services to those in need for various reasons, such as economic poverty, family breakdown, and psychological difficulties. This initiative goes beyond mere material assistance and encompasses comprehensive social services that enhance quality of life, including education, housing, healthcare, and support for self-reliance.
In particular, new blind spots in the existing welfare system are emerging, such as "isolated and reclusive youth," "young carers" who must support their families, and "young people preparing for independence" who must become independent after leaving shelters. We proactively identify these blind spots and, through integrated case management tailored to individual circumstances, help future generations become confident, independent members of society.
