* KYWA, Korea Youth Work Agency

Youth are both the present and the future of our nation. For our society to achieve sustainable growth and further advancement, it is essential to create an environment in which young people can grow in a healthy way-physically and mentally-while discovering and realizing their own dreams.

Today, we are living in an era shaped by the Fourth Industrial Revolution, digital transformation, and globalization. These sweeping changes present both challenges and opportunities for youth. In response, the Korea Youth Work Agency is actively promoting a wide range of programs and policies to help young people navigate and lead in this rapidly changing world.

KYWA aims to introduce a new paradigm, “K-Youth Activities,” to support young people in developing into global leaders equipped with a balanced foundation of scientific and engineering knowledge, as well as humanistic and artistic literacy.

While classroom learning focuses on acquiring fundamental knowledge, youth activities provide opportunities to apply and expand that knowledge in real-life contexts. KYWA supports young people in growing into well-rounded individuals through participation, collaboration, and creative experiences. These activities go beyond simple experiential learning, fostering the competencies required of global leaders and contributing to the creation of social values and a sustainable future.

Furthermore, KYWA is committed to building a growth ecosystem in which families, schools, and local communities work together. Guided by ESG management and human rights–based management, we will faithfully fulfill our social responsibilities as a public institution.

The future of youth is the future of our nation. The Korea Youth Work Agency will always stand alongside young people as they grow happily and emerge as leaders who will shape the world.

Look far, Think high, Act now.

Thank you.
