The Council of Korean Americans' (CKA) mission is to advance the national voice, interest, and influence of the 1.9 million Korean Americans in the United States through our four pillars: amplifying voices, building community, celebrating identity, and developing leaders. Our philosophy is that we are more effective and impactful when we work together as a community. We unite, equip, and nurture current and future leaders in the Korean American community to create a more significant impact and promote public engagement. In addition to collaborating within our community, we encourage cooperation and partnership with other ethnic, racial, and international groups to pursue the common good and cultivate representation at the highest levels of society.
