The Korean Resource Center is pleased to announce the Orange County Civic Leadership Program.

The Civic Leadership Program is open to all currently enrolled high school students who are eager to learn about community empowerment and are eager to promote civic participation in the Orange County Korean American community.

In order to empower the Korean American community and promote voter participation in 2012, KRC is holding a 12 week program for talented and motivated high school students in Orange County. Students will learn about civic engagement and the Korean American community, and will learn to register voters, analyze voter data, and develop a data-driven voter outreach plan.
