People wishing to help kids in Korea are asked to contact orphanages through the Korean Kids and Orphanage Outreach Mission.
KKOOM’s website in both English and Korean offers contact information for orphanages who may be seeking helpers across Korea.
The organization advises prospective volunteers to contact orphanages in their local areas with offers to teach English or play with children, and KKOOM can also let prospective volunteers know if there is already a volunteer group in their region.
The service was set up by American volunteers at Samsungwon in Gumi to build compassion for children living in Korean orphanages and group homes.
