We invite you to be a living library of our history. Share your stories, teach your traditions, and pass down the wisdom that has shaped our community for decades. Your knowledge is our foundation, and our youth are eager to learn from you through cultural storytelling, cooking demos, and history-sharing roles. Your knowledge and wisdom will ensure Korean culture thrives in America.
We invite you to be the vital link between our deep-rooted heritage and our bold, new future. As professionals and leaders, your mentorship, advocacy, and guidance are what will empower the next generation and ensure our culture thrives. Your passion and commitment are what will transform LOKA from an organization into a thriving, intergenerational family. Join us to build a foundation that is as strong as our history and as vibrant as our future.
For decades, our elders laid the foundation. Now, we hand the pen to you. We invite you to write the next chapter of our story. Your passion for Korean culture—from K-pop to esports—is our roadmap for the future. We invite you to bring your vision to life by taking a leadership role in our community. Join us to create the kind of events, campaigns, and spaces where every Korean American feels at home.
