We are excited to welcome The National Korean American Service and Education Consortium (NAKASEC) as a new anchor partner! NAKASEC was founded by local Korean American organizations from across the nation who saw the need for a prominent, national voice for the Korean and Asian American communities in the United States. To guide their organizing, its founders developed the following principles: Live Right (바르게 살자), Know Your Roots (뿌리를 알자), Live Strong (굳세게 살자), and Live Together (더불어 살자). These original organizing principles are the core values that NAKASEC uses to guide its work today.
Welcoming New Anchor Partner NAKASEC
The Action Lab welcomes the National Korean American Service and Education Consortium (NAKASEC) as a new anchor partner, guided by organizing principles rooted in community strength, cultural awareness, and collective solidarity.
