Though Woori Juntos was officially founded in June 2021, our story begins years before. Troubled by the limited access to health and social services, especially for our low-income, non-English language preference seniors, we sought to make political change.
All of our services are free to the public.
We encourage community members to schedule an appointment with the service navigation team by emailing info@woorijuntos.org.
Our service team will provide Korean translations and interpretations to help you navigate public services.
