Welfare State Youth Network, an independent youth organization of and for the young people who are preparing for a better future, looks at social issues (e.g. education, employment, housing, health service, aging, and the social security net) from the young generation’s perspective and seeks specific solutions. As members of the future Korean society with a strong sense of responsibility, they continue to monitor the rapid changes in the politics, economy, and system of distribution of the near future, and aim to find social alternatives. Youthzone Yangcheon is a space for the youth provided by the City of Seoul. It is a shared space where the young can freely work without being pressured by the society’s norms. Youthzone Yangcheon strives to become a platform that supports youth to come together and collaborate, to create a community of their own to experience solving their personal problems as well as social problems.
