Description:
KAC was founded in 1983 in Los Angeles, California, as a nonprofit service, education, and advocacy organization that facilitates the Korean American community's participation in civic, legislative, and community affairs. Today, KAC has grown into a national organization with membership chapters in several cities along the West Coast, Alaska, and Hawaii, and affiliate organizations on the East Coast. With over a dozen full-time staff and a large base of volunteers, KAC provides a variety of direct and indirect services to the fast growing Korean American communities across the nation.

In January 2001, the Virginia-based Korean American Alliance (KAA) began operating as the official KAC Washington, D.C. Area Chapter(KAC-DC) to serve the interests of the local Korean American communities in Maryland, Virginia and the District.
