  • YouthKAN 2026 Application

    The YouthKAN (Korean Action Network) program, run through the Korean Community Service Center of Washington State, is now accepting applications for its year-long leadership and community engagement program. We highly encourage Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander students in grades 9 through 12 who are local to the Greater Seattle area to apply (12th-grade council members will only be expected to be with us from January-June 2026). The program will run from January 2026 through December 2026 and will be divided into four quarters, each lasting three months. Every quarter will feature a cohort of “chair members,” students who take on leadership roles in guiding the general group through a selected theme, such as AANHPI youth mental health. In alignment with the theme, chair members will lead monthly meetings that include discussions, workshops, and event planning, and they will organize monthly community events featuring keynote speakers, cultural celebrations, and interactive activities. If selected, attendance at all program meetings will be mandatory. In addition, all participants will attend the 2026 YouthKAN Retreat at Camp Indianola on Bainbridge Island from January 17 at 3:00 p.m. to January 19 at noon. This retreat will be an opportunity for team building, reflection, and bonding with the new cohort. Food and lodging will be provided for all admitted participants, and additional information about transportation and logistics will be shared upon acceptance. The deadline to apply is December 1, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. PST. Applicants will be notified of their decision through email on December 22, 2025.
