Gyeonggi Province is recruiting 200 youths to participate in overseas climate action volunteer programs, with applications being accepted until July 8.
The “Gyeonggi Youth Climate Emissaries” program, a key initiative reflecting Governor Dong Yeon Kim’s commitment as the “climate governor,” addresses the global climate gap by focusing on volunteer activities that contribute to climate crisis response, including tree planting, afforestation site maintenance, and environmental education.
A total of 120 participants will be dispatched in August to three countries (Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, and the Philippines), followed by 80 participants in October to two countries (Cambodia and Laos).

All costs related to the program will be fully covered, including airfare, accommodation, and on-site volunteer activities. Eligible applicants must be aged 19 to 39 and reside in Gyeonggi Province as of the announcement date. Applicants must also be free of any issues that would prevent visa issuance or overseas travel for volunteer work.
Applications can be submitted online via the Jobaba Apply website (apply.jobaba.net). After document screening and applicant interviews, qualified candidates will be announced on July 21.
Selected candidates will complete orientation training and team-based local activity planning before deployment. They will then participate in approximately three weeks of volunteer activities in their assigned country, either in August or October. In addition to climate action projects, a variety of cultural exchange programs tailored to the characteristics of each destination country will also be conducted.

Kim Sung-won, Director of Gyeonggi’s International Cooperation Policy Division, stated, “This program offers youths in Gyeonggi a valuable opportunity to grow through hands-on overseas volunteer work focused on climate action. We hope many passionate young people across the province will embrace this challenge.”
