Core offering

Wemajor operates a free major exploration lecture program (전공강연) for middle and high school students in South Korea. University student volunteers, recruited through seasonal cohort cycles and trained via mandatory orientation, are dispatched to schools and libraries to deliver lectures about their academic majors and career paths. The organization is supported by a proprietary website (wemajor.or.kr) that handles lecture scheduling, member registration, and volunteer management.

Product overview

Wemajor operates as a non-profit educational organization providing a single core service: 전공강연 (major lectures) where university students deliver presentations about their academic majors to middle and high school students. The organization runs a website platform that supports member management, lecture scheduling, volunteer recruitment, and communication. The company does not operate a multi-product portfolio but rather a unified service model centered on connecting academic mentors with students seeking guidance on university major selection.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Dream Tree (드림트리): Korean non-profit offering education support and mentoring programs for youth, often delivered through volunteer university students; comparable in mission (leveraging university students to support younger students) and non-profit volunteer model.
• Sunny Korea (써니코리아): Korea's national university student volunteer service network connecting student volunteers to schools and communities; directly comparable as an institutional pipeline for university student volunteers serving K-12 audiences.
• Open Mentors (열린멘토스): Korean non-profit mentoring program pairing university students with younger students for academic and career guidance; highly comparable in volunteer-based, student-to-student educational mentoring model.
• Outcampus (아웃캠퍼스): Korean platform that organizes and supports university club activities, including the Premium Club program that recognized Wemajor; directly comparable because it serves the same ecosystem of university student-led clubs running volunteer/community programs.

Broad incumbents

• Eduwill (에듀윌): Major Korean private education company providing supplemental education, career/major counseling, and online learning content; comparable in serving Korean students seeking major and career guidance, though for-profit and at much larger scale.
• Good Neighbors (굿네이버스): Large Korean NGO operating education donation, mentorship, and youth development programs nationally; comparable as a non-profit volunteer-driven education organization with school-facing delivery, though at far greater scale and program breadth.
• CareerNet (커리어넷): Korea's government-run career education and employment information portal, offering career exploration, major/aptitude assessments, and counseling resources to students nationwide—directly comparable to Wemajor's major exploration core service but at vastly larger scale.
• SK Volunteer Corps (SK 자원봉사단): Corporate volunteer program that runs education donation and mentoring initiatives in Korea; comparable in leveraging volunteers to deliver educational/career content to middle and high school students.

Regional players

• Hi School Career Counseling Programs (Korean MOE schools): Government- and school-run career counseling and major exploration programs embedded in Korean high schools; conceptually adjacent in delivering major exploration content to the same student audience, though operated by public schools rather than a non-profit.

Others

• Korea Foundation for the Creative (한국과학창의재단): Government body that co-administers the Education Donation Excellent Organization certification that recognized Wemajor; comparable as a key stakeholder/funder in the Korean education donation ecosystem.
