The guide matching process is grounded in the submitted applications and follows these steps: 1. The manager of the Youth Goodwill Guide reviews the applications 2. Matching of tourists and guides 3. Coordination of schedules and course planning 4. Guiding (including post-tour reviews).

Please note that guide volunteers are students, not professional guides, so their availability for guiding primarily falls on weekends, considering their academic schedules. Specific guidelines and restrictions for guiding are provided separately upon application.

Youth Goodwill Guides actively plan and engage in diverse activities beyond guide volunteering. These activities include international exchange events and experiencing Korean culture. Through participation, they aim to enhance their global competencies.
