Mission Statement
Since its establishment in 1922, National YWCA of Korea(Korea YWCA)
has continued to clarify its vision and purpose in order to achieve
this fundamental goal.
YWCA movement’s main agents are Women and Members who are
independent entities.
We recognize God's sovereignty not only on the social and historical
level, but also on the personal level to motivate Christians to
participate in social movement.

cultural class, or age, are one before God.
Our main task is to ‘build an inclusive world where justice, peace
and integrity of creation are promoted and sustained through the
practice.’
