Communication
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Social services allow us to provide much-needed assistance to our community and integrate them into our organizing work. Education helps individuals assess and critically analyze the issues that affect the community. Culture roots us as communities of color and immigrants living in the U.S. Organizing equips community members with the tools and capacity to find solutions to issues that affect them and direct and implement strategies for social change. Finally, Coalition Building ensures that all communities can move forward together.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Immigrant Rights Project
The Immigrant Rights Project (IRP) consists of legal services at KRC which includes the naturalization, DACA and higher education access (AB540 and California Dream Act) clinics. IRP also aims to educate the wider public on immigrant reform issues, advocate for commonsense policy reforms, and organizes immigrant communities.
Health Access Program
The Korean Resource Center's Health Access Program seeks to improve the health status of Korean Americans, foster a belief that health care should be incorporated into our daily lives and ensure Korean American representation in the health policy, funding, and education.
Civic Engagement
KRC pursues an integrated civic engagement program by bringing its holistic model of organizing, which combines services, education, culture, organizing and advocacy, into civic engagement. KRC trains and involves its staff, board and members in its organizing work that encompasses both electoral and non-electoral cycles, including voter engagement, legislative visits to congress members on immigration reform, town halls, public testimony at hearings, rallies, assisting community members through social services, and educational workshops.We have two programs that civically engage youth and young adults, one is FOREground for high school youth and the other is called Leaders of the New School, which is for college age individuals.
Affordable Housing
We assist seniors in the Koreatown area to apply for affordable housing. Recently, we assisted community members to apply for section 8 vouchers in the city of LA.
