President's Volunteer Service Award
The SFKAHM has been designated as a President's Volunteer Service Award (PVSA) Certifying Organization. If you serve at the SFKAHM, you can receive the PVSA. In this regard, the youth service organization "Dosan" was launched under the museum to provide various volunteer opportunities for youth.
"Dosan" is named after the title of Dosan Ahn Chang-ho, a national visionary, educator, and independence activist, and means "far island." It is said that Ahn Chang-ho gave the title "Dosan" because Hawaii Island looked like a big mountain from a distance from a ship crossing to the United States in 1902. The background of this arc is nationalistic passion, hope, and struggle for independence. It also means "Let's become a person who gives hope and courage."
SFKAHM has prepared Korean youth to serve in areas that have never been before, citing the very limited service of Korean youth in the Korean community. It also aims to achieve personal growth through service and to establish a system that can contribute to society, and hopes to be a person who gives hope and courage to the mainstream society, the Korean community, and other communities.
