Support Transportion Expenses for Youths

Project to Support Transportation Expenses of Gyeonggi Province Youths

Background

In light of the increasing intra-city and community bus fares of Gyeonggi Province, we seek to relieve the transportation expense burden of youths who often use public transportation but are economically vulnerable. To each such youth, we will distribute up to KRW 120,000 per year for transportation expenses in the form of local currency.
* Due to the Gyeonggi Province policy, foreign teenager who are not registered at Household Register (Resident Register, Jumin Deunglogpyo) cannot get supported.
