Thank you to everyone who generously supported KAC’s AAPI Heritage Month fundraising campaign last month!

Although the campaign has come to an end, we still have a few more phenomenal speeches to share from Ctrl + F: Finding Yourself, this year’s KAC MUN community advocacy project.

Meet Gianelle Kim – an 11th grader, second-year KAC MUN student, and this year’s Treasurer and Internal Conference Crisis Director. In her speech Not My Cup of Tea, Gianelle explores the complicated relationship between her Asian American identity and her aspirations as a creative, navigating both the uncertainties and passions that shape her journey.

Centered on themes of identity and belonging, Ctrl + F: Finding Yourself features 25 powerful speeches from KAC MUN students ranging from middle school to high school. Their stories will challenge, resonate with, and inspire you as they reflect on what it means to grow up Asian American today.

A HUGE thank you to our donors who helped us raise an incredible $7,200 for our AAPI Heritage Month campaign!

This year, KAC’s campaign focused on supporting our award-winning leadership development programs: Model United Nations (MUN), the National College Leadership Conference (NCLC), and the KAC Internship Program (KIP).

These contributions will help sustain access to high-quality programming, mentorship, and transformative experiences that would otherwise remain out of reach for many students. Our programs serve as both lifelines for young people and pipelines for the next generation of Korean American leaders.

Thank you for directly investing in the future of our students! 🌟
