Book mentoring project

We would like to introduce a representative program Seoul YWCA is doing to empower youth women in detention home. It's called "Book Mentoring Project" that sending humanistic or literary books to female youngers trained in detention home every month with warm-hearted hand-written letter.

This month, Korea Starbucks staffs participated in packing the books and wrote kind letters for this program. We hope the books will be sent to our friends can be a life-changing mentor and contribute to thinking about their future after their time in the detention home.

If you want to support this program, please contact here: i-friend @seoulywca.or.kr
