Recent studies indicate that families with healthy marriages are healthier, live longer, have higher work productivity, and their children have higher education and commit less crime.

As a part of KCCD’s ongoing efforts to strengthen marriages in the community, we are offering several training opportunities for both leaders and for the general public. Programs are tailored for different age groups, from youth to adult singles and couples.

KCCD was founded in 2001 as a nonprofit faith-based organization with a vision to serve as a bridge between the Asian American community and the greater community at large in connecting and creating private and public collaborations both locally in Southern California as well as on a national level. Because of the central role churches play in the Korean community, our mission has been to maximize the capacity of Korean and Asian American faith-based organizations and other community nonprofits 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.

Youth Workforce Program Success Highlights

 

Through KCCD’s historic $5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Labor, KCCD was successful in helping to create opportunities for many Asian youth and youth agencies through our Youth Workforce Program.  Through KCCD’s efforts, the landscape in which Asian youth and youth agencies can access services and resources has been transformed. The following are testimonies of success:

 

“The case management trainings provided essential tools and tips that enabled AYC’s YWP staff to better provide individualized services to youth, as well as develop effective case management files.”

— May To, executive director, Asian Youth Center

 

“With YWP, we were able to provide new services such as Korean culture and language classes, job training classes and high school diploma classes to better assist our clients.”

— Reverend Young Kim, executive director, Nanoom Christian Fellowship, Inc.

 

“We have partnered with KCCD in the last year to provide retail training to more than 100 economically disadvantaged participants. This training curriculum, which is certified by the National Retail Federation, and developed in partnership with the US Department of Labor and 20-plus national retail companies, was key to the successful placement of all participants with companies such as Wells Fargo Bank, CVS/Pharmacy, and Ralph’s, to name a few.”

— Dean Richard Galope, Los Angeles City College

 

“I come from a Chinese immigrant low-income family. My older brother is a well-known gang member who has been in various detention centers and youth halls. Following in his brother’s footsteps, I started becoming involved with gang and criminal activities at a young age, but realized I should take a different path.
