The Program
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.
The program promotes greater understanding and respect between generations and documents marginalized narratives for preservation in public archives while also cultivating wellness outcomes for all participants.

Intergenerational. Multiethnic. Multilingual.
We are high school students and elders who live and work in Los Angeles’s Koreatown. Read our stories, listen to our interviews, and look at our photos and videos to learn more about our thoughts and insights on our community.

LGBTQIA+ Community In Koreatown
KSP’s 2023-2024 cohort will explore the LGBTQIA+ community in Koreatown. We will record our multiethnic and multilingual LGBTQIA+ older adults on their life experiences–their home countries, cultural traditions, childhood, faith, family, immigration and coming out (and not-coming out) narratives, intersectionality, discrimination, milestones and celebrations. Our curriculum will study the history (and threat to) LGBTQIA+ rights and educate our participants on LGBTQIA+ cultural competencies. We will be partnering with organizations and artists that reflect the cultural heritages and identities of our community.
