Koreatown Youth and Community Center

KYCC’s Koreatown Storytelling Program is an intergenerational, multilingual and multiethnic oral history and digital media program that teaches ethnographic and storytelling techniques to high school students and elders to investigate cultural practices and racial, economic and health inequities in our community. Want to explore Koreatown, interview inspiring elders, and help build a youth-led newsroom? Join Koreatown Storytelling Program and Los Angeles Local News Initiative!
