Initiatives & Programs:
LEGAL ASSISTANCE NETWORK
Members of the Korean-speaking Community face significant obstacles when it comes to accessing critical legal services.
We believe that the obstacles can be best removed by:
Creating networks between Korean-speaking and English speaking Korean-American Communities and attorneys
Facilitating partnerships between Korean Community organizations and established legal service providers; and
Developing stronger referral systems within the Community.
If you are an attorney, other legal professional or student interested in pursuing a career in law, we invite you to join our network,
KOREAN INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
As much as Korean-American students want to invest in their future, our pathway to success is often limited to academics. No matter how hard we study, we still lack access to internships and real-world work experiences. We need people to share their success with us, and open up doors to provide connections.
The Korean Internship Program does the following:
Provides internship opportunities for students and young adults
Provides networking opportunities with professional associations and individuals who can assist in career development/advancement
Serves as a resource in various areas students and young adults are in need of (such as resume & essay writing, etc.)
Strengthen ties between Korean-Americans youth & young adults to rise together
HEALTH DIRECTORY & INFO
The Healthcare Services Directory on our site is made possible by a coalition of Healthcare organizations and individuals and is a comprehensive collection of resources that includes physicians from the Korean American Physicians IPA (KAPIPA), the Korean American Physicians Association of New York (KAMPANY), New York Presbyterian Queens, Northwell Health Physician Partners and those in the MetroPlusHealth network.
It also includes services for low income and undocumented individuals, and from Community Based Organizations working in areas such as mental health.
The directory is accessible on computers as well as mobile devices and is helpful for both residents as well as service providers needing to make referrals.
HELPING THE HELPERS
Nonprofit organizations play a vital role in the Korean American community, providing social help in a way that makes cultural sense for us. They step in for the specific targeted needs of Korean Americans in ways that other public organizations can’t.
Ways you can help:
Volunteering for non profit organizations
Providing financial support and legal help
Spreading the word about koreanhelp.org
KOREAN NETWORKING
Networking is an essential cornerstone of securing the base of a community. The Korean-American community has been present since the 19th century; however, the progression of time and a larger population have yet to culminate in the connected, united front of other established immigrant American communities — an unfortunate circumstance that must be addressed.
Through networking, generations of Korean-Americans would come together to find opportunities, rely upon each other, grow as a community, and increase our influence in the American society as a whole. Networking is also essential for young Korean Americans who struggle to reach their aspirations in spite of the sacrifices of their parents who give up their lives for their children’s education.
