Our Mission:

Our mission is to collect and preserve the oral and digital history of the Korean American legacy, sharing it with the public and utilizing it as a valuable academic resource. At the same time, we strive to inspire and empower young people through meaningful mentorship, providing the guidance, support, and resources they need to realize their full potential.

We strive to foster positive youth development, build resilience, and promote personal growth, while promoting inclusivity, diversity, and equity. Through our mentorship program, we aim to create a safe and nurturing environment where youth can thrive, develop valuable life skills, and become active contributors to their communities.

We are committed to making a lasting impact on the lives of young people, helping them navigate challenges, and empowering them to create a brighter future for themselves and those around them.

In partnership with its network of other academic and historical institutions, the CARE (Collect, Archive, Research, Exhibit) PROJECT augments the standard narratives of historical research and education inspired by an award-winning documentary Fading Away. CARE Project shares its findings digitally through its website and social networks as well as physically through exhibitions, publications, and the holdings of academy institutions.
