World Friends Korea (WFK; Korean: 월드프렌즈코리아) is a South Korean government-run overseas volunteer program that was inaugurated on May 7, 2009.[1] Prior to this program, the South Korean government conducted various types of volunteer programs under three different government ministries. As establishing "World Friends Korea", the government of Korea aims in unifying the different programs under a single overseas volunteer system. The program is similar to the American Peace Corps program.[2]
