Subject Am I a barista here? Go to a counseling cafe in Gangdong-gu

The senior club in Gangdong is responsible for the lively retirement of the elderly!

The "Senior Club" is an institution designated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare that actively responds to social changes in the aging era and supports the creation of jobs for the elderly. It plays a role in developing and supporting jobs tailored to the elderly by utilizing the social experiences and knowledge of the elderly. As of June 2021, 184 locations nationwide, and 18 locations in Seoul, including Dongdaemun Senior Club, Guro-gu Senior Club, and Gangdong Senior Club, are in operation.

Since May 2017, Gangdong-gu Senior Club has been carrying out various senior job projects centering on Gangdong-gu, Seoul. Among them, Gangdong Senior Club Counseling Café, a counseling window exclusively for senior citizens in Gangdong-gu, is a space designed for senior citizens to consult on job projects promoted by autonomous districts in a comfortable atmosphere.

The Gangdong Senior Club Counseling Cafe is a plan for the "Gangdong Senior Club" project to support the vibrant retirement of the elderly through the quantitative and qualitative growth of senior jobs. Working hours are flexibly operated 2 to 3 days a week, 2 to 3 hours a day or 3 to 4 hours, and 24 to 30 hours a month. Major projects include the heart-sharing delivery business, in addition to delivering flag poles to wedding halls and funeral halls in Gangdong-gu or nearby areas, and the Raon family workshop business, where senior citizens make and sell various products such as wallets and business card wallets.

The second senior club counseling cafe I visited sells coffee, drinks, and hot dogs, and Dutch coffee was also installed and lowered directly. In addition, the cafe exhibits and sells high-quality wooden products made by senior artists with long experience in carpentry, as well as high-quality products such as cutting boards and wallet pens. Prices are cheaper than on the market.

Senior club counseling cafes are not only effective in creating jobs by hiring more than 20 senior citizens per workplace, but are also used as a place for education, information, and cultural exchanges for the elderly, attracting attention as a good silver-decent job.

There are two ways to apply for jobs: to visit the counseling cafe in person and to apply online through the website of the Gangdong Club.

Happiness through Sharing, find it at Gangdong 'Volunteer Activity Center'!

The Gangdong Volunteer Activity Center, located alongside the second senior counseling cafe, is being established and operated for the professionalism, operation system, and efficient management of volunteer activities as volunteer activities become active and widespread.

It is promoting "anyone can participate" and "joint cooperation together" through volunteer recruitment, counseling and placement, development and promotion of volunteer programs, promotion of participation through volunteer promotion, recognition, and encouragement, and volunteer activities.

If you join the 365 Volunteer Portal, you can collect volunteer information from all over the country in one place and search for various volunteer information, as well as get a "one-stop" confirmation from application to performance confirmation.

I recommend you to participate in a meaningful time to become a main character who can become happier with the start of sharing life together.
