MinKwon Center's mission is to empower Korean, Asian, and immigrant communities to achieve economic and social justice for all. We envision a just and equitable society where all people can live in harmony, dream, and achieve their full potential.
Who We Are
The MinKwon Center for Community Action was founded in 1984 (formerly called YKASEC) in Jackson Heights, Queens as an open space for Korean Americans to devote themselves to service, youth eduction, and cultural activities for the community. Over the past forty years, MinKwon Center has evolved and expanded its activities to include immigrant rights advocacy, civic engagement, education, social and legal services, and youth leadership programs. Today, MinKwon Center is the premier immigrant rights and services community-based organization for Korean Americans in New York.
