KCS Inc. began in 1975 as the vision of a Korean immigrant church, St. Nicholas Episcopal Church in Los Angeles, and its pastor, Father Matthew Y. Ahn, in order to provide social services and community outreach to the influx of Korean immigrants coming to Southern California. Over the next three decades, KCS Inc.'s focus widened as the agency began to service the general population with behavioral health services, as well as expanding locations to Orange County. At present, Korean Community Services is a multi-service agency providing an array of behavioral health, public health and social services to Korean Americans as well as the community at large.

Our mission is to assist and empower Korean American individuals, families, and the greater immigrant community. This mission is achieved through the promotion of projects and programs that provide culturally and professionally competent human services to unserved and underserved Korean Americans. We believe that healthier individuals and communities results from a combination of outreach, treatment, and prevention efforts.
