Prerequisites
Understanding Korean is a plus for the direct interaction with older members and newcomers from the Korean Canadian community. However, non-Korean speakers are also needed to assist with a variety of written projects, such as grant writing and policy research. Furthermore, Canadians of all persuasions are needed to help create a more diverse environment conducive to broadening the diversity of the Korean Canadian Cultural Association.
