Building Chicago's Korean American Legacy

Empowering Korean American young professionals since 2002

Our History

KAC-Chicago (KACC) started in November 2002. KACC has established itself as one of the leading organizations for Korean American young professionals (1.5 and 2nd generation) in metropolitan Chicago. Our Chicago chapter is part of a national 501(c)(3) non-profit, the Korean American Coalition, based in Los Angeles.

Our Mission

To promote the civic participation of Korean Americans through advocacy, community service, leadership development, and cultural education.

Our Goal
