I am looking for contact information on civic groups that help foreigners. Whether it is for legal, cultural, language, familial and so on, all contact info would be appreciated.

This is one group, but their focus is on helping migrant workers from developing countries.

I'm not sure if there are any organizations set-up specifically to help English teachers (or if this is even relevant to you), but I think most of us would agree that the 3D workers (dirty, dangerous and something) have a much rougher time than English teachers in Korea and are probably in far greater need of support.

Maybe these are considered civic groups, I don't know.

ISKA is for foreign women married to Korean women.

For example, there is a group there to help support people build a network after returning to Seoul.

This is good so far, thanks! Any foreigner actually. I'd like a smattering of groups, ones that help E-2 visa holders comprised of Koreans would be very helpful as well.

Seoul Global Center is the greatest!

Not sure if this is on topic but near the big IBK bank in haebangcheon there is a foriegner's help center which is also a cop shop. Been there twice, usually efficient (yeah, shocking, I know) and friendly.
