Serving orphaned youth in Korea as they transition into adulthood.
Find more about usOak Tree Project is a non-profit organization serving the orphans of South Korea.
Founded in 2006, Oak Tree Project has been serving the orphans of Korea through camps, Christmas Secret Angel, a scholarship and mentoring program for college students, and many other events. Our vision is to build effective and loving relationships with the children. We desire to see the lonely experience family.
Oak Tree Project aids Korean orphans in college by providing a committed mentor, family atmosphere, and financial support. Our greatest goal is to provide loving care for these students and help them succeed in life.
During their early years serving the Oak Tree Project staff saw how difficult the transition from high school to college is for most Korean orphans. For most orphans they leave their children's home after graduating high school and live on their own. For many they tell us, "I love the freedom, but I've never felt so lonely." The need for a program for kids leaving the orphanage became clear and in 2013 Oak Tree Project's scholarship and mentoring program began with four students. Since then, sixty-three students have graduated from college with sixteen more expected to graduate this year.
Each student receives $500 a month to cover living expenses. With finances provided, students are able to dedicate time to their studies. This allows them to earn high grades and scholarships for tuition.
Students without family are in great need of emotional support and guidance. Each student is paired with a caring mentor who is committed to the student until he/she graduates. Mentors call the students weekly and meet in person with them monthly.
