“50 years is an incredible milestone. Since 1975, we have addressed vital needs of Korean Americans and the multiethnic Koreatown community, with our services and programs having reached 500,000 people over the past five decades. We have grown into a premier multiservice nonprofit based on respect for the community and the trust of supporters like you.”
OUR STORY
KYCC (Koreatown Youth and Community Center) was established in 1975 to support a growing population of at-risk youth in Los Angeles. Today, KYCC is the leading multiservice organization in Koreatown, supporting children and their families in the areas of education, health, housing, and finances.
