The Korea Sports Promotion Foundation’s Keumryun and Keumjeong Headquarters has joined hands with the local community to proactively address the issue of illegal gambling among youth.
This year, the Keumryun and Keumjeong Headquarters is providing a donation of 30 million won to Gwangmyeong YMCA for a project aimed at preventing illegal gambling among youth. It is also advancing multi-faceted preventive activities, including training professional instructors, conducting prevention education for elementary school students, and providing counseling for youth with gambling problems.
The core of this project lies in strengthening the professionalism and effectiveness of prevention education through the cultivation of local specialized personnel and participatory education. Gwangmyeong YMCA has trained 25 specialized instructors in preventing youth gambling addiction by re-educating existing youth counselors. This effort not only secures specialized educational personnel within the region but also contributes to job creation in related fields.
The importance of youth gambling prevention education is growing increasingly significant. This is because, following amendments to the Integrated Supervisory Committee for Gambling Industries Act, youth gambling prevention education at schools of all levels has been mandated to be conducted at least twice a year starting May 12 this year, which is expected to expand educational demand in school settings.
An official from the Keumryun and Keumjeong Headquarters, who spoke by phone with our outlet, said, "Prevention is most important when it comes to illegal gambling among youth. If a problem occurs, it can be considered a failure."
