About KACS
Korean American Community Services (KACS) was founded in 1972 by a group of concerned Korean Americans who met to discuss solutions to the acute problems that Korean immigrants were experiencing upon arrival in the United States. Our mission is to
serve Korean Americans and others who are in need of social, psychological, educational
or economic support, and to provide assistance in the immigration and acculturation
process, thus to encourage them to live dignified and meaningful lives.

across the life cycle, including:
Head Start Child Care
After-School Program
Culturally sensitive family and individual counseling
Crisis intervention

Greetings
Words of Acknowledgment
Greetings
We are extremely privileged to lead the oldest, largest, and most comprehensive social
service agency in the Midwest that targets services to Korean Americans and other immigrants. For 40 years, Korean American Community Services (KACS) has been expanding and responding to the changing needs of the community in the greater Chicago
area.
KACS is constantly striving to create new programs and service delivery methods to
help us best serve the community. During fiscal year 2012, we expanded our Northwest
Center in Prospect Heights, including the recruitment of a part-time nurse practitioner; demand for our IT classes has significantly increased as exemplified by our growing
enrollment numbers and expansion of space into four classrooms; there has been substantial growth in women’s programming, such as family counseling, women’s financial
literacy, domestic violence prevention, breast and cervical cancer screening, and girls
get digital; and we graduated our second cohort of senior Silver Giving Circle volunteers
who have been trained to provide public benefits assistance to community members.
As we celebrate our forty year milestone, we must recognize our supporters for making our work possible. We are so grateful to the foundations, corporations, government
sources, and individuals who contribute resources to the community. We are excited to
see what the next forty years have in store for us, and hope you’ll continue with us on
our journey!

Early Childhood Center
The KACS Early Childhood Center is a place that treasures and nourishes our
community’s most precious resource: our children. Founded in 1979, KACS
ECC is accredited to the highest level by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). The program offers a toddler program for
children 2 years old, a preschool program for children ages 3 to 5, as well as an
afterschool program for children ages 6 to 12 years old.
Children come from various backgrounds, and as a result, the rich cultural performances presented by the children during the Culture Show in May are always
a delight to watch. Other annual events include the Preschool graduation in
August and a Christmas presentation and party. KACS ECC ensures that all
children’s needs are met and is also responsive to the needs of the entire family, providing counseling, health and nutrition screenings, and parent education
workshops.
KACS ECC combines learning with play, with daily lessons prepared that include
field trips, excursions to beautiful Horner Park, arts and crafts, and a miscellany
of other activities designed to provide a supportive, enriching learning environment for children from diverse backgrounds. KACS ECC provides a safe,
respectful, warm place for children to learn and play. The center strives to offer
guidance, support, and a multitude of varied opportunities that contribute to the
healthy development of young people.

IDepartment of Community Education provides assistance to our community members with:
Computer skills trainings
KACS’ Community Technology Center (CTC) serves over about 1,200 low-income
and immigrant populations that face numerous barriers to computer access and
require substantial technology training a year. Public access to the CTC is free of
charge including printing, internet access, and technical support from the CTC staff.
In view of the technology training, KACS has enhanced our programs with the Internet and Computing Core Certification (IC3) since January of 2009 – which is crucial
but lacking in our target community. IC3 is a very first certification course to enable
low-income and/or immigrant populations to receive the necessary computer training for their better marketability. KACS has supported Benchmark and Mentor, online training tools for students to identify digital literacy levels and develop effective
self-paced training along with free classes taught in English. KACS has four high-tech
computer labs, connected to the Internet and printers.
ESL/Civics/Korean classes
KACS offers various language classes including English, Korean, and Spanish. The
mission of ESL/Civics/Citizenship classes is to reduce barriers for predominantly
immigrants and low income families with limited English proficiency to achieve
equal opportunity and further improve their quality of life. Our citizenship classes
provide immigrants not only languages skills but also practical information and confidence which they need to navigate U.S. society and eventually improve the quality
of their lives. Currently we offer four levels of ESL/Civics classes: basic (level I and
level II) and intermediate (level III and level IV). The curriculum at all levels combines practical English language skills with content about U.S. institutions, rights,
and civics, such as: becoming a citizen, finding a job, communicating on the job, finding housing, understanding the school system, using transportation, accessing health
care, understanding U.S. government, basic U.S. history, and others.
Cultural Arts
We provide Root East, Root West, multi-disciplinary arts and cultural programming
targeting the underserved population in arts including the Korean American community in the Chicago metropolitan area. Programming includes workshops in various visual arts, performances, and exhibitions of contemporary and traditional art
forms in multiple media, summer youth art camp, language classes such as Korean
and Spanish. KACS views arts as a vital component of a vibrant, healthy community
and culture through languages as tools to empower and enrich cultural competency.

in need of legal representation.
2. Pro Bono Legal information clinic:
In partnership with the Korean American Bar Association of Chicago,
licensed attorneys will provide free legal consultation on a wide range
of issues that clients bring and give them general legal information and
direction. The Pro Bono Legal clinic opens every first Thursday of the
month at KACS Chicago main office.
3. Low Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC):
This program is a far-reaching community campaign to educate taxpayers who speak English as a second language (ESL) by utilizing various
economic, social and cultural networks and resources. The campaign
activities focus on reaching out to low-income families and people with
limited English proficiency through workshops, media outreach, and
distribution of information materials
