Gwachon Urban Corporation has engaged in a prevention campaign aimed at fostering a healthy growth environment for youth and ensuring community safety.
According to the corporation, on September 1, it participated in a public relay campaign with the Gwachon Youth Foundation to promote youth protection and a healthy social culture.
The campaign was conducted in a sequential manner, involving public institutions to raise awareness about harmful environments surrounding youth and the importance of prevention.
The 'No Weak Challenge' aims to highlight the risks of drug crimes and substance abuse targeting youth, which have recently emerged as serious social issues, and to spread social interest and action for prevention through the participation of public institutions, including local public enterprises.
The corporation joined this initiative after being nominated by the Gwangju Urban Management Corporation, which had previously participated in the campaign.
Notably, the campaign was conducted in collaboration with the Gwachon Youth Foundation, emphasizing the importance of cooperation among community organizations for youth protection.
Kang Shin, the president of the corporation, and Park Young-mi, the CEO of the Gwachon Youth Foundation, along with staff from both organizations, held placards conveying the campaign's message, reaffirming their commitment to youth protection and prevention activities.
Citizens observing the event also expressed a shared sentiment regarding the need for ongoing community interest in youth protection.
One citizen stated, “It is important for adults to take an interest in ensuring that youth can grow up in a safe environment. I hope this campaign continues consistently rather than being a one-time event.”
Another citizen remarked, “Youth issues cannot be resolved by the efforts of specific institutions alone; families, schools, and the community must all take an interest. It is meaningful to see public institutions and youth-related organizations working together on prevention activities.”
Meanwhile, President Kang emphasized, “The involvement and participation of the entire community are necessary to create an environment where youth can grow up safely and healthily.” He added, “We will continue to actively participate in public interest activities for the safety and health of the community in close cooperation with relevant organizations.”
