Network of Korean American Leaders (NetKAL)

In association with the Center for Asian-Pacific Leadership at the USC School of Social Work, the Network of Korean American Leaders (NetKAL) Fellowship Program promotes community leadership among successful second generation Korean-Americans. With the assistance of some of USC's leading educators, the NetKAL program provides fellows the networks and resources to communicate effectively, build coalitions and lead transformation at all levels of American society. Fellows gain a solid foundation in today's most progressive leadership values and practices as well as opportunities to examine the multi-faceted role of a Korean-American leader.
