Korean Institute of Minnesota

Korean Institute of Minnesota The Korean Institute of Minnesota (KIM) has been in existence since 1975. It is one of the oldest Korean educational organizations in the nation.

The Korean Institute of Minnesota has been a cultural and educational resource for Korean adoptees, their families, and Korean-American immigrants since it was established in 1975. The origins of KIM came from the needs of Korean American immigrants. In the early 1970's an influx of Korean immigrants settled in Minnesota. Many came for educational and professional development. The overall populati

At the same time, a growing number of Minnesota families who embraced Korean adoptions. These families were also actively seeking resources to give there ethnically Korean children a place to learn about their birthplace. They sought out the Korean community to help bridge this gap. KIM offers fall and spring classes to children, teens, and adults.

For adopted Koreans wanting to learn Korean alongside others who share that experience: we're putting together a class for you, and we want your input before we finalize it.

The Korean Institute of Minnesota is developing a Korean language class that covers foundational skills plus vocabulary and conversation specific to the adopted Korean experience. Before we lock in what's in it, we want to hear from the community about what would actually feel helpful in those early lessons.

Join us for a Listening Session on Wednesday, June 24 from 7:00 to 8:30 PM CT, online.

Please RSVP by June 21, 2026.
