Our mission to assist and empower Asian Americans and new immigrants to become well-adjusted and fully contributing members of the U.S. through social services, education, advocacy, and development of resources. KCSC's programs promote the well-being and quality of life of the members of the Asian community and our services are guided by the following principles: 1) empowerment-based practice; 2) culturally and linguistically competent intervention; 3) community-based outreach; and 4) development of helping alliances.FY2014 has been a meaningful year for KCSC, marking our 40th year of service to the community. KCSC was founded in 1974 by a pastor and his congregation who were committed to helping visitors and immigrants from Korea with basic transportation, interpretation and translation assistance as well as helping newcomers rent apartments, set up phone and utilities services, and enroll their kids in school. Over the past 40 years, KCSC has grown and evolved into the largest bilingual and bicultural Korean social service agency in the DC metropolitan area. with offices in Annandale, VA, Gaithersburg, MD, Riverdale, MD and Silver Spring, MD.
