For a Better and Peaceful World

The Hwarang Youth Foundation is a youth non-profit organization program that seeks to instill pride in its members, develop and train future leaders, and contribute to the community.

​

First and foremost, Hwarang is a service organization; its members help out not only the nearby community but also the world as a whole, with various initiatives to send medical supplies to third-world countries, conduct educational outreach programs, and provide optical assistance to the visually challenged.

 

Hwarang members are also committed to helping the environment to the benefit to the community: they participate in activities like cleaning up waterways, planting trees, and protecting the ocean. Such service to the community not only helps others, but is also a valuable training source for future leadership roles.
