How it Works
Awareness
Our process started as an Instagram campaign posting educational content on accessibility and various disabilities
First Contact
Reached out directly to the Geomdan Oullim Disability Welfare Center (formerly Incheon Seogu Disability Welfare Center) to learn and understand real community needs on the ground.
Partnership Plan
Developed our signature P2P Partnership Plan, shifting the paradigm away from superficial volunteer hours toward equal and recurring peer relationships.
Becoming Youth Supporters
Formalized our role as the First official Youth Supporters for the welfarecenter, co-hosting interactive workshops, joint showcases, and community events alongside the center participants.
Scaling the Model
Packaged our research, cold email templates, and event blueprints into an open-source toolkit to help high school advocates nationwide replicate the model in their own communities.
