Public Sector Capacity Building
Program
KAGC Academy invites Korean American college students, young professionals, and organizations in the DMV area to participate in mentorship programs, lectures, or field trips. The goal is to foster grassroots civic engagement among Korean Americans and enhance understanding of American politics.

Event
The KAGC students had the fortunate opportunity to incorporate an invitation from the Democratic National Committee to speak with their AAPI staffers at their headquarters. Students were able to gain first-hand insights and knowledge behind the career pathways for the AAPI community members to get engaged with U.S. politics from a wide variety of backgrounds.

Impact
The Public Sector Capacity Building program has made a significant impact on the Korean American community and U.S.-Korea relations. In a field where barriers to entry may be hard to navigate, the establishment of a direct pipeline targeted for Korean American youths will enhance efforts in promoting diversity and representation within government institutions and throughout the public sectors. The added perspectives of Korean American public officials will bring new and unique perspectives and insights to policy discussions, and thereby lead to a more informed decision-making process.
