Korean American Family Service Center

Established in 1989 in response to the needs in the growing Korean immigrant community in New York City, the Korean American Family Service Center (KAFSC) has evolved over the past thirty plus years to become a primary dual agency that addresses domestic violence and sexual assault victims from a combined prevention and intervention perspective that remains sensitive to our cultural setting.
