Korean American Community Coalition

“Our organization was founded with the mission to serve the low-income, marginalized and under-served Korean communities in Los Angeles and Orange County. We strive for cultural and linguistic access and inclusion, development of young leaders, and empowerment of underrepresented societies.”

In 2020, Korean American Community Coalition started as a center to serve the community in Los Angeles County. Most, if not all, members were non-English speaking Korean Americans, which was the root of their lack of understanding and desire for government aid. To remedy this issue, we assisted with consultations and applications for Medi-Cal, Medicare, SSA, SSI, Calfresh (food stamps), and low-income/affordable housing. After providing services to about 170 members, we officially became a non-profit organization in 2021. Ever since, our work has expanded tremendously to serve the youth, seniors, low-income, underserved and underrepresented in Los Angeles and Orange County.
