KCCD Agency Mission

As a non-profit faith-based organization, KCCD serves as a bridge between the Asian American community and the greater community at-large through private and public collaborations. Our mission is to maximize the capacity of Asian American faith-based organizations and other community non-profits to remove the cultural, language and economic barriers by increasing their access to resources and funds in order to assist low income individuals and revitalize neighborhoods.

Purpose of the Resource Directory

This Resource Directory is a practical referral guide for assisting Asian youth, young adults, and parents in obtaining necessary services for Korean and other Asian American adjudicated and at-risk youth and young adults in Los Angeles and Orange County. This Resource Directory serves as a critical tool within the Youth Workforce Program, addressing workforce development, education, social services, the Juvenile Criminal Justice System, career development, personal enrichment and employment/training opportunities. Our Resource Directory will be revised and updated periodically to reflect changes in the many agencies providing services to the Asian community.

Who Can Use This Directory

This Resource Directory is available to subgrantees and other affiliates of the Youth Workforce Program. The Resource Directory will be circulated to parents, young adults and at-risk youth affiliated with the Youth Workforce Program as well as available to agencies who serve at-risk and adjudicated youth.


What is the Youth Workforce Program?

The KCCD Youth Workforce Program is an innovative workforce development program to improve the employment outcomes for Korean and Asian adjudicated and at –risk youth and young adults in Los Angeles and Orange County. In partnership with the Department of Labor (DOL), KCCD is involved in the distribution of grants to faith and community-based organizations. The goal of these grants is to launch and create innovative workforce development programs providing job training and job placement for Korean and other Asian American adjudicated and at-risk youth to improve employment outcomes.

Youth Workforce Program Goals

Education: Conduct educational campaigns for Korean and other Asian-American parents and families to help them serve as effective advocates and support for their at-risk, adolescent youths;

Collaboration: Develop collaborations with employers, including CVS/pharmacy, to provide clear career pathways and on-the-job training opportunities;

Sub-Grant: Competitively sub-grant Korean and other Asia-American FBCOs at the three sits to help them foster partnerships with local workforce system and criminal justice agencies;

Employment: Work with selected sub-grantees to provide counseling, peer support and other life skills services necessary to support long-term employment retention; and,

Support- Work with selected sub-grantees to offer or coordinate educational and vocational training, as well as work experience opportunities (e.g., internships) to assist youth in acquiring skills leading to successful careers.


YWP Services Offered:

Occupational Training Guidance and Counseling Basic Computer Training Paid/ Unpaid work Experience ESL GED Mentorship Technology Training Soft Skills Training

Who Can Participate in YWP

The definition of Korean or other Asian at-risk and adjudicated youth and young adults falls within one or more of the following categories:

Deficient in basic literacy skills (below grade level 8.9) Lack of basic job readiness skills Homeless, runaway, foster child, or high school drop out Pregnant or parenting Live in a home where neglect, abuse, drug addiction or

gang violence is prevalent Sibling of an adjudicated youth Child of an offender or ex-offender Other locally defined barriers Anyone who has been through the court system


Current Status of At-Risk and Adjudicated Asian Youth*

There is a serious concern that little is being done to address gang problems among the City's Asian communities. Asian gangs are very different in that they do not seek to draw attention to themselves by wearing identifiable clothing and they are not as territorial as other neighborhood based gangs. Although crimes committed by Asian gangs are rapidly increasing, LAPD records continue to identify Asian ethnicities as "other". Cultural and linguistic barriers prevent immigrant families, both documented and undocumented, from accessing services, particularly for monolingual Asian individuals. This concern seems to cut across all service sectors including gang reduction activity. A service gap exists for undocumented individuals. Typically, government funds cannot be used to serve them and available private funds are insufficient. Undocumented families are very reluctant to seek needed services for fear of deportation.

Asian Youth Relevant Statistics:

Almost half of male teens under 18 commit at least one violent act, and for 75% of them it is their first and last.

An estimated 75 percent of Koreans are believed to have arrived after the 1970s, and both these first-generation adults and their children face significant language and cultural barriers.

Asian gangs are the fastest growing gangs in Los Angeles County.

Although national trends show that juvenile arrests have decreased in the last 20 years, when examined by ethnicity, Asian youth are the only group to show an increase in arrests (11.4%). Asian youth also have the highest adjudication (conviction) rate (34.2%) among all races.


An overwhelming majority, 79% of all census tracts in the City of Los Angeles , is impacted by gang activity.

85% of US born Korean Americans are under the age of 19, and also experience cultural barriers in relation to their own parents due to limited fluency in Korean.

Some experienced law enforcement experts estimate that the total number of gang members is undercounted by 10%-20% because many cities in the region do not submit data and because gang membership is by nature difficult to assess.
