ANNOUNCING OUR 2020 KAREN HA SCHOLARS
 
We are proud to announce our Karen Ha Scholarship recipients for this year: Daniel Lee of Gilroy, who will be attending UC Berkeley in the Fall, and Stephanie Park from San Jose, who will be attending UCSD.

Stephanie and Daniel were selected from a talented pool of finalists. We were impressed by their proven commitment to the community and leadership potential. We are excited to see what the future holds for them! 
MULTILINGUAL RESOURCES FOR TALKING ABOUT RACISM

We know it is not easy to talk about racism and police brutality with parents or family members. This crowdsourced collection of materials can help navigate those difficult discussions. It includes tips on how to start the conversations and an essential reading list to learn more about role and history in the discussion as Asian Americans. These resources have been compiled by the New York City chapter of the National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum (NAPAWF). 

To get directly to Korean-language resources, go to the left-hand sidebar and click on the document icon, and select "Korean"
