Korean-American networking & mentors
With immigration laws only being changed in the 1960's to allow Asian-Americans - including some of our parents and grandparents - to come to the U.S., there is a generation of Korean-Americans who had no other Koreans to rely on and bravely forged new paths.
That generation is now available for current young adults including college and high school students.
