Using narrative inquiry, the current study examined life challenges of Korean American immigrants and operations of Korean American community-serving nonprofit organizations through the lens of bilingual Korean American helping-professionals. The study findings yield important social work implications to strengthen social/human services for Korean Americans in nonprofit community organizations.

Upon completion, the participants will be able to assess systemic challenges that create barriers toward access to resources and services for Korean Americans and other immigrants.
Upon completion, the participants will be able to identify social work practice and policy areas for social work workforce development for Korean American immigrant communities.
