"KCWA Family and Social Services," formerly known as the Korean Canadian Women's Association is a non-profit and charitable organization established in 1985 by a group of women who were concerned about immigrant women and family issues. However, we now serve women, men, seniors and youth.
Our mission statement is "Building the Korean-Canadian community, one person at a time." We aim to empower the Korean Canadian community by providing culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate services and programs that are aimed to fight domestic violence, poverty and inequity as well as to enhance the well-being of immigrant families.
Over the last 36 years, we have provided individual counselling for settlement-related matters and family issues. We have conducted regular programs and seminars for career development, parenting, finances, accessing social benefits, education, and legal information. We have also done several projects and public awareness campaigns that were designed to support raising community issues.
KCWA has two offices in the GTA. Our main office overlooks the North York Civic Centre and Mel Lastman Square that is directly connected with the North York Centre Station. Our branch is located at Bathurst-Finch in front of the Northview Height Secondary School.
If you are looking for information and services regarding settlement and family counselling, please do not hesitate to contact KCWA.
