Membership
The UCISK membership is open to all Ugandans living in South Korea, Uganda, and around the world.
Our mission is to empower our members to thrive by creating opportunities for development and building bridges that unite and strengthen them. We envision a cohesive and diverse community where all people are valued and empowered to participate, achieve, and contribute to development and prosperity.
Other
Encourage developmental relationships between Ugandans in South Korea
Fully promote Ugandan and Korean culture
Promote networks between Ugandans and other nationalities in south Korea
We also extend our hand in helping those in need by participating in charitable activities
Support some non-privileged Ugandans back home to enhance their standards of living by providing basic household needs.
We also engage in supporting the sick here in South Korea and those who have lost their loved ones to comfort them as a sign of brotherhood.
Aid those who choose to go back home without travel documents by processing the necessary documents needed to facilitate their journey back home.
With all this, we have at least managed to improve the standard of living of Ugandans living in South Korea and our members who go back to Uganda.
Benefits of being a member
South Korea is not an easy country to live for new immigrants; it can be boring and stressful sometimes; but being around people who have lived here longer than you can provide insight regarding anything you may need
There are lots of benefits to being a member of UCISK; you feel more secure when you know you have people around who can care about you in times of need than when you are out there with no one around to talk to, share an idea, ask a question, or even share a drink. We believe the UCISK organization is a place full of incredible individuals who have lived and worked in South Korea for over 20 years; they have a lot of experience to share with you and provide opportunities for development, learning, and business connection.
UCISK members have access to information in South Korea from members in the field who have stayed in Korea for a long time. We provide information, resources, and advice to help you stay current on the latest news, laws, and issues in the community. Whether you are looking for housing, renting a car, opening a bank account, needing a phone, translating documents, or needing a lawyer, we support you with the relevant information you need.
As a member, you’ll also get a membership to your local chapter network so that you don’t feel lonely. Whether you need a job or not, you can easily get connected to the job market through our members who are already working. In addition, you get access to our networking events, which we organize every year. These networking events provide an opportunity to meet and build strong relationships with other members, business professionals, students, and potential contacts for future needs.
As a member, you get information about events organized by the local expert community, business forums, professional job fairs, and events organized by the Seoul Global Center.
The UCISK provides several advertising opportunities, allowing our members who own businesses to grow, while expanding the community’s awareness of your business in and around the area. We help our members who are doing business expand their market footprint with a strong social media campaign, print advertising, and a variety of other mediums in an effort to help members’ marketing efforts.
Join us and be part of our community. We are strong together.
