Our Community
Since 1973

KCS envisions a world where immigrant communities remain grounded in their heritage and work together with the broader community to build a better society at large.

 

KCS’ mission is to be a bridge for Korean immigrants and the wider Asian community to fully integrate into society and overcome any economic, health and linguistic barriers so that they become independent and thriving members of the community. We accomplish this mission by providing culturally competent programs in the areas of Aging, Education, Immigration, Workforce Development, Public Health and Mental Health.

What Our Community Says?

  • COVID was a huge threat to me, but a chance to figure out how I can maximize my strengths to get employment. I was guided in the best direction to overcome the uncertain job prospects in the COVID recession. Thanks to the Senior Community Service Employment Program, I can re-enter the labor market by attaining a worthy job skill and a boost in confidence.

  • During the pandemic, I lost my job and could not pay my rent for four months. When I applied for rent relief, I was denied and searched desperately for help, but no one was able to offer a solution. A friend told me about KCS, and said that I might be able to find help. When I contacted KCS, the staff encouraged me to apply for Unemployment Insurance. I applied with their help and was able to receive months of benefits that I didn’t even know I had been eligible for. I felt like a way for me to live had opened up. Because I struggled with English and the Internet, they diligently helped me every time I visited until I learned how to make the weekly claims on my own.
