The Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that the “Dream Growth Center,” a dedicated space for the School Dropout Youth Support Center, has opened in Buk-gu as of June 18.

The opening ceremony was held at 10:30 AM on June 18, attended by around 40 people including officials from the city, Buk-gu Mayor Oh Tae-won, Buk-gu Council Chairman Jung Ki-soo, Buk-gu Youth Support Team Leader Lee Yong-cheong, youth participants, and 1388 support center members.

The Dream Growth Center is composed of a study zone, physical education and arts room, lounge area, cafeteria, program rooms, and counseling rooms.

The facility was created by remodeling the third floor of the Daeri Village Community Center after it was selected for a public offering project by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family last year. It spans 183.48 square meters in area.

Out-of-school youth will receive support at the Dream Growth Center through various programs and counseling services such as academic and career guidance to promote healthy development.

Currently, a total of 17 School Dropout Youth Support Centers (1 city-level and 16 district-level centers) are in operation throughout the city. Each center offers a variety of tailored programs supporting academic reintegration, independence, and self-development.

Park Seol-yeon, Director General of the Busan Metropolitan City’s Department of Gender Equality and Family, stated,

“We hope the Dream Growth Center will be a space where out-of-school youth can nurture their dreams and plan for their future. We will continue to take an active interest in and provide full support for these youth.”
