Our Mission

At Freedom Speakers International (FSI), we seek to provide North Korean refugees with tuition-free and individualized mentorship for public speaking in English and opportunities to engage with the international community.

Our mission is to empower North Korean refugees through mentorship, opportunities, and partnerships. We provide North Korean refugees with mentorship for public speaking in English, opportunities to engage with the international community, and partnerships for pursuing and achieving their own goals.

Among the 34,000 North Korean refugees who have escaped to South Korea, many want to learn English because of its important role in their new lives. English proficiency is often a benchmark for employment and education opportunities in South Korea. Today, standardized English test scores are often a required skill for employment at large companies, and classes in South Korean universities are being increasingly taught in English.

This creates a significant challenge for North Korean refugees who want to attain success for themselves or their families. Many North Korean refugees want to overcome this challenge by learning English. Some also want to use English to find their own voice, share their stories, or take part in advocacy efforts.

Our Cause

Tuition-free and individualized mentorship in public speaking

Our Approach

At FSI, we provide refugees with tuition-free and individualized mentorship for public speaking in English and opportunities to engage with the international community.

Some North Korean refugees have told us that even paying for coffee is a burden. Because of this, we keep all of our services for North Korean refugees tuition-free. This way, no one will feel like they can’t join us because of financial reasons.

We believe that we should provide personalized services to North Korean refugees who join us. Regardless of whatever reason someone comes to FSI, we seek to form partnerships with North Korean refugees and build long-lasting, trusting, and dynamic relationships that are centered around their goals.
