Korean Resource Center 민족학교

민족학교의 창립자이신 합수 윤한봉 선생은 청소년들이 자신의 뿌리를 깊이 이해할 때, 비로소 지역사회를 위해 당당히 나설 수 있는 자신감을 얻게 된다고 믿으셨습니다.

그리고 오늘날, 어린 시절부터 민족학교와 함께 성장해 온 김한진 님의 여정을 통해 우리는 그 소중한 비전이 생생하게 실현되는 모습을 목격하고 있습니다.⁠
⁠
매년, 규모는 작지만 거대한 변화를 만들어내는 민족학교 팀은 10,000명이 넘는 이민자 가정의 삶을 지키는 든든한 안전망이 되어주고 있습니다. 이 소중한 발걸음을 멈추지 않도록, 한진 님은 앞으로 민족학교의 문을 두드릴 또 다른 10,000명의 이웃들을 위해 10,000달러 모금 캠페인을 진행중입니다.⁠
⁠
캠페인 마지막 한주가 다가온 지금, 목표를 달성할수 있도록 함께 해주세요. 🔗TinyURL.com/Han4KRC 에서 5월 31일까지 기부하실 수 있습니다. 프로필에 링크 되어있습니다.

From a kid finding his voice through the sound of drums to serving on KRC’s Board of Directors, Han’s journey is living proof of our founder’s vision. ⁠
⁠
KRC founder Yoon Han B**g believed that when young people understand their roots, they build the confidence to fully show up for their community. Today, we are seeing that vision come to life.⁠
⁠
Every year, KRC’s small powerhouse team serves as an indispensable safety net, stabilizing the lives of over 10,000 immigrants in LA with housing navigation, legal defense, and healthcare access.⁠
⁠
To keep this vital work moving forward, Han is raising $10,000 to empower the next 10,000 people who walk through our doors.⁠

All of us at KRC are devastated by the heinous, deliberate act of violence targeting the Islamic Center of San Diego Mosque.

Time and time again, we have seen US politicians spew and encourage bigotry, and they are complicit in this act of hate. We mourn the victims of this tragedy and extend our deepest condolences to their families and loved ones.

KRC remains committed to working toward a future where everyone can live with dignity, safety, and a sense of belonging.

어제 샌디에이고 이슬람 센터를 겨냥한 잔인하고 의도적인 폭력 행위로 인해 민족학교는 깊은 슬픔과 충격에 빠졌습니다.

그동안 미국 정치인들이 인종차별적인 생각을 드러내고 심지어 이를 조장하는 모습을 거듭 목격해 왔으며, 이들이 증오 범죄를 확산시키는 데 결정적인 역할을 했다고 판단합니다. 이번 비극으로 희생된 분들을 추모하며, 유가족과 상심이 크실 모든 분께 깊은 애도를 표합니다. 민족학교는 누구나 존엄성과 안전, 그리고 소속감을 느끼며 살아갈 수 있는 사회를 만들기 위해 변함없이 함께 노력하겠습니다.

Last week, our team stepped out of the office to connect and share a little inspiration together. We took an enchanted journey through the “Mythical Creatures: The Stories We Carry” exhibition at , curated by and were in awe at the immersive art experience and poetic storytelling. If you’re looking for something special to experience this AANHPI Heritage Month, check it out for yourself! 🐉🦄

Justice for immigrants and workers everywhere NOW.

Tomorrow, on International Worker’s Day, KRC is joining thousands of people across the state as we unite for our rights and flex our power.

#한인사회이야기

한글 번역은 댓글에 있습니다.
🇰🇷🇺🇸 Today we celebrate Korean American Day, recognizing our history, resilience, and the countless contributions of Korean Americans who continue to shape and strengthen our communities. Did you know that the first significant wave of Korean immigrants was documented 123 years ago, on January 13, 1903? Today, 29% of Korean Americans reside in LA!

We are proud to uplift two trailblazing Korean American community leaders whose courage, service, and leadership inspire us to keep showing up for our community, especially in these uncertain and trying times. Recently, we had the honor of presenting entrepreneur and community leader May Park with the Local Hero Award and civil rights lawyer Do Kim with the Legacy Leadership Award.

🤲 May Park, Founder of Skid Row People’s Market
is a community-powered grocery shop addressing food apartheid in the heart of Skid Row. May worked tirelessly, ensuring that her community had access to healthy, affordable, culturally-resonant foods, and other essential resources. In a region with a large unhoused population, Skid Row Market is a safe space where they are treated with dignity. May’s story was featured in the documentary by .

In 2025, the shop was acquired by , a local Black-led organization working to advance social justice by creating equitable opportunities in the area. We celebrate its next chapter, rooted in the Park family’s founding values.

⚖️ Do Kim, Civil Rights Attorney
Do Kim is a civil rights attorney working to advance justice for marginalized communities, with a focus on employment discrimination, police misconduct, and wrongful conviction. Beyond the courtroom, Do has been a longtime community organizer and leader, from supporting Korean American merchants after the 1992 LA Uprising to facilitating youth leadership and gang intervention programs.

As we honor their impact, we also look ahead with hope. We thank Korean American leaders including May Park and Do Kim, who continue to guide us by modeling collective care, intergenerational leadership, and the bold courage to imagine something better for our community.
