Korean American Coalition - Oregon

The Korean American Coalition Oregon Chapter (KAC Oregon) was founded in July 2014 to cultivate a vibrant Korean American community in Oregon.

The Korean American Coalition (KAC) is a national non-profit, non-partisan community advocacy organization founded in Los Angeles in 1983. There are 8 chapters currently operating in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles (National Headquarter), Seattle, Washington DC, and now in Portland. What makes us unique is that we represent the interests of all generations of Korean Americans including adopt

ees and those of mixed heritage. We work to bring out the best of 1.5 and 2nd generation’s potential and support them to become capable leaders and powerful voices in the communities in which they live. We work hand-in-hand with existing Korean American community organizations as well as other community organizations and governmental agencies. KAC Oregon started in July 2014 with a mission to foster a strong Korean American community in Oregon by promoting Korean American participation in civic, legislative and community affairs through advocacy, community service, leadership development and cultural education.
