STS Objective

We are an NGO comprising high school students dedicated to promoting equal rights for children worldwide.  We made the decision to establish this organization in August 2020, when COVID-19 began affecting the lives of young individuals the most.

전세계 어린이들이 인간으로서 평등한 권리를 누릴 수 있도록 함께 손을 잡고 구성된 고등학생 NGO 단체입니다. COVID-19 시기에 가장 고통 받는 어린이들을 돕기 위해 시작되었습니다. 

STS LOGO

The logo we’ve selected symbolizes our unity with people from all corners of the globe, highlighting our dedication to mutual support and the promotion of collaboration as a catalyst for generating positive transformation.

 전 세계 사람들과 어깨를 나란히 하는 모습은,   우리가 서로를 지원하고 협력을 통해 긍정적인 변화를 이루기 위한 헌신을 상징합니다.
