MinKwon Center For Community Action
For 25 years, the MinKwon Center has provided free services for our community members – especially low-income people and recent immigrants – through our Social Services Program. Our accomplishments include introducing the first ever legal clinic for the Korean community together with the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF) more than 24 years ago, and in 2004 we worked with AALDEF to launch the first project offering full legal representation for the Korean community for low-income Korean immigrants facing workplace abuses and workers rights violations.
Today, this Program provides a comprehensive range of social and legal services to low-income community members, including Korean Americans, limited-English-proficient immigrants, and other community members seeking assistance. While many community members continue to face major obstacles and legal problems, our goal is to provide critically-needed, high-quality services that will alleviate their struggles and educate the community on their rights.
