What is World Taekwondo Peace Corps? The World Taekwondo Peace Corps (TPC) was launched in 2008 with the theme of "World Peace through the Great Taekwondo Spirit." The members of the TPC are volunteers armed with one of the greatest spiritual heritages of Korea, "the Taekwondo Spirit," and they work world-wide with the values of that spirit to spread peace.

The TPC members are young men and women who have the will and capability to bring peace to the world despite a harsh environment. They are a great resource of Korea to be dispatched to developing and developed countries in order to spread peace through the art of Taekwondo.

Furthermore they promote mutual understanding, friendship and peace, regardless of gender, ethnicity or religion. Due to the initial success of the TPC program, the World Taekwondo Peace Corps Foundation was officially established in 2009 to help elevate the program's efficiency and scale.
