Jongdae Kim, Grace Choi
We empower people with diverse backgrounds—including refugees and immigrants—to find their identities and voices as global citizens for them to contribute in creating harmonious societies, where diversity is celebrated and opportunity is fairly distributed. We strive to embody this vision by 1) Empowering Youth through Education: offering free SAT/ACT prep classes and college counseling; and 2) Creating Space for Conversations:
hosting lectures and study groups on social integration, peacebuilding, and reconciliation.
