About Korean American Family Services
Founded in 1983 by immigrant Korean women inspired by the vision of Dr. Tae Young Lee, Korea's pioneering female attorney and women's rights advocate, Korean American Family Services emerged from a commitment to supporting families devastated by economic hardship and immigration stress in the Los Angeles area. What began as a grassroots response to community need has evolved into a respected organization with a dedicated team of multilingual staff and volunteers who personally understand the immigrant family experience. The organization's deep roots in the Korean American community, combined with its bicultural expertise, enable it to respond to clients with innate sensitivity and cultural awareness. Korean American Family Services represents more than four decades of continuous service, built on the foundation that families deserve access to quality, culturally appropriate support during their most challenging moments. The organization's passionate commitment to serving women, children, immigrants, and vulnerable families reflects its original mission of offering hope and help to those navigating the complexities of adaptation and trauma. Based in Los Angeles, Korean American Family Services stands as a testament to immigrant resilience and community solidarity, providing not just services but a genuine safety net rooted in understanding and compassion.
