Our programs work to help our local communities and foster rising generations of business professionals, community advocates, students and civic leaders.

Alternative Dispute Resolution Center
The KAC Alternative Dispute Resolution Center (4.29 Center) was founded in 1997 in response to the ethnic upheaval that devastated parts of Los Angeles during the 1992 Los Angeles Riots. Special focus is placed on working with the diverse ethnic populations of Los Angeles County, which keeps cases out of California’s overloaded court system.
The ADR Center strives to provide efficient and culturally appropriate means of resolving disputes. Our mediators have successfully closed over a thousand cases in the past decade.
Ignite Next Gen Fellowship
The Ignite NextGen Summer Fellowship program is a six-week leadership training program designed to prepare young leaders (“college student, recent graduate, and young professional” range) by developing key skills and adapting their mindsets for success in both their lives and professional careers.
One of the highlights of this six-week program is the rare opportunity to connect with successful Korean American leaders from diverse backgrounds and fields.
Model United Nations
Model United Nations (MUN) is a civic engagement program for middle / high school students in the County of Los Angeles. Acting as delegates from the United Nations (UN) member states, students participate in and recreate UN meetings at conferences throughout the country to discuss a wide variety of past and current global issues. Students must conduct research in preparation for these conferences and prepare speeches to present to their committees.
MUN programs are usually implemented as a class or extra curricular club and are most often found in affluent suburban high schools. Urban schools in low-income areas, however, often lack the resources to run this sort of program.
National College Leadership Conference
The KAC National College Leadership Conference is an opportunity for young Korean Americans to meet established professionals in their field of interest, learn essential leadership skills to assist them in their future professions, and make friends of other bright, ambitious Korean Americans. The Leadership Conference builds awareness of current and past issues facing the Korean American community, with an emphasis on the importance of participation and the appreciation of cultural identity and roots.
Summer College Internship Program
The Korean American Coalition’s (KAC) Summer College Internship Program (SCIP) is designed to provide personal and professional development opportunities to highly qualified Korean American college students, and to encourage them to take on future leadership roles in the Korean American community.
The program places participants in sponsor offices four days a week. Applicants will be able to rank their interest in four fields – Government/Political, Non-Profit, Corporate, and Media – and will be placed accordingly.
