We strive to make our community stronger, healthier, and more connected.
Explore the programs we offer below.
Our association is dedicated to celebrating and passing down the richness of Korean culture to future generations.
Through regular cultural performances, we showcase traditional dance, music, and art that honor our roots.
We also offer weekly language and arts classes, giving members opportunities to learn Korean, explore traditional crafts, and engage with cultural practices.
To strengthen community ties, our intergenerational programs bring together youth and elders, ensuring that stories, traditions, and values are shared and preserved for years to come.
We believe that access to nourishing food is essential for health, dignity, and community well-being.
Through collaborations with local food banks and community partners, we provide reliable food distribution resources for seniors.
Our nutrition workshops support healthy eating habits tailored to older adults, while special meals during Seollal, Chuseok, Hyo Festival, and other key occasions keep cultural traditions alive at the table.
With thoughtfully prepared Korean meals that nourish both body and spirit, we ensure our community remains connected, cared for, and celebrated.
Transportation is a lifeline for independence, health, and community connection.
Through our partnership with the OCTA Senior Mobility Program, Korean American seniors in Orange County gain access to safe, reliable transportation that connects them to essential services and community life.
In collaboration with OCTA and local cities, this program makes it easier for seniors to reach medical appointments, healthcare facilities, grocery stores, and community centers.
With convenient service from their residences, seniors are able to stay independent, engaged, and connected to the community.
Accessing public benefits can feel overwhelming, especially with language or system barriers.
Through our partnership with the Social Services Agency of Orange County, a dedicated social worker is available to help members with programs like CalFresh, Medi-Cal, General Relief, and more.
From applications to renewals, seniors receive the guidance they need to navigate these resources with ease.
By providing this support in a welcoming and culturally sensitive environment, we ensure our community stays secure, informed, and cared for.
Community service offers an opportunity to contribute, learn, and build meaningful connections.
Through OneOC’s referral program, individuals are placed at OCKASA to complete court-ordered or volunteer service hours in a structured and supportive environment.
OneOC manages referrals, placement coordination, and service hour verification, ensuring requirements are met responsibly. Participants assist with daily activities and programs, helping create a welcoming space for Korean-American seniors.
This partnership benefits both those completing service and the seniors they serve by fostering accountability, purpose, and stronger community relationships.
