Since its inception in 2007, POSCO's university student volunteer initiative, Beyond, has fostered over 1,500 volunteers committed to enhancing the lives of disadvantaged communities and tackling societal challenges. This flagship program of POSCO seeks to generate enduring value through active participation rather than occasional volunteering.
Participants are empowered to devise and carry out community-oriented projects such as construction initiatives, youth education, and environmental conservation efforts, thereby cultivating a proactive mindset towards sharing value.
Recently, the 19th team of Beyond volunteers embarked on a mission in Phu My, Vietnam, from August 14-18, to provide educational assistance and cultural exchanges at two local elementary schools. A cohort of more than 60 volunteers contributed to the project, which also entailed upgrading school infrastructure and supplying necessary equipment. The group, formed in April, prioritized initiatives that integrate science and technology into their volunteer activities.
