Korea Gift Team

Celebrate Christmas with Holt in Korea this December!

When you join us on the 2025 Korea Gift Team trip, you’ll help create a magical, joyous Christmas for a special group of children and adult residents with disabilities at the Ilsan Center. You’ll also experience the rich culture, taste the cuisine and marvel at the extraordinary beauty of Korea. On this life-changing trip, you will explore Holt’s history and see Holt’s vision in action by touring the Ilsan center, visiting a single mothers’ shelter and meeting with young adults engaged in Holt Korea’s independent living programs. Your fellow travelers are supporters and sponsors, just like you, who are ready to see how their generosity blesses the children and families Holt serves. We hope you will join us!
