Youth Policy

What Youth Policy does

Youth Policy, legally registered as 전국청년정책네트워크 (National Youth Policy Network) and operating under the short name 전청넷, is a South Korean voluntary civic network founded in 2017 and headquartered at 석촌로 8 (간석동, 희망아파트) in Incheon Metropolitan City's Namdong-gu. The organization functions as a coalition coordinator that unites 36+ Korean youth organizations — including Youth Union (청년유니온), Mandalpaengi Union (민달팽이유니온), Youth Participation Solidarity (청년참여연대), Youth Square (청년광장), Youth Open Platform Y, and the Seongbuk Youth Citizens Association — to advocate for youth rights and policy reform through joint statements, press conferences, press releases, candidate evaluations, and regional meetings spanning Seoul, Gyeonggi, Busan, Daegu, Gwangju, Daejeon, Incheon, Sejong, and Jeju.

Its core deliverable is not a technology product but rather a coordinated advocacy platform built on a website (youthpolicy.kr) hosted on the imweb (아임웹) SaaS CMS, which functions as a publishing hub for press releases, statements, and newsletters, a member signup and elections portal (with archived 3rd through 5th executive election cycles), and an activity archive. The organization also maintains Facebook, Instagram, and Linktree presences, and runs in-person regional meetings (지역/의제모임). Notable technology integrations include social media cross-posting, newsletter distribution, and a dedicated safe-reporting channel ([email protected]) for equality-related complaints.

The business model is a non-commercial member-based nonprofit structure. Membership fees are listed as the sole revenue stream; pricing notes explicitly state no commercial products or services are sold. The organization is led by a designated representative (대표자), with 김승길 identified as the current legal representative and prior representatives including 진형욱 and 엄창환; 윤정성 is listed as an Operating Committee (운영위원) member. Funding sources, budgets, and headcount are not disclosed. Strategic positioning emphasizes the network's role as the convening backbone for cross-organizational Korean youth advocacy, with documented wins including the Youth Basic Law (청년기본법) enacted in January 2020, the establishment of First Youth Day, and engagement in national political events including the 2024 martial law response.
