Seoul Global Center will be holding training sessions for volunteers this Friday and Saturday.

The center runs a volunteering program with several activities each month that foreign residents can join.

The volunteering schedule changes each month, but activities typically include visits to centers for the elderly and underprivileged children, as well as helping out with center activities, such as concerts, flea markets and job fairs.

Friday’s training session will be led by art therapist Lee Na-ri on effective communication with children. Saturday’s session will be run by leadership specialist Kim Hee-hwa on communication and leadership.

Both sessions run 4-6 p.m. at the Seoul Global Center’s main building in Jongno, and require registration in advance. They are open to all foreign residents, even if they have not volunteered with the center before.
