HISTORY & MISSION

The Korean American Family Service Center (KAFSC / The Center) is a leading, nonprofit organization that supports and empowers adults, youth, and children to lead safe and healthy lives based on dignity, compassion, and mutual respect. We are committed to preventing and ending domestic violence and sexual assault, and creating a violence-free society.

The Center was born 31 years ago when a group of concerned community members organized to help women and children suffering from domestic violence and abuse. Our Center started humbly gathering in church basements, staffed by volunteers and consultants dedicated to ending violence within Korean-American families, and has grown over the 31 years to the premier nonprofit organization it is today. With the help of our unwavering supporters, we will continue to serve those in need and empower our community to break the cycle of violence.

Our counseling, education, and advocacy programs for individuals and families in the New York Tri-State area are provided in a culturally and linguistically appropriate setting. All of our services are confidential, bilingual, and free* to the community.

*Some Hodori after-school programs and court-mandated services have fees.
