The Korean American Association of Greater New York (KAAGNY) is a dynamic and vibrant organization that serves as the primary voice for the 500,000 Koreans living in the Greater New York area, encompassing Metro New York and parts of New Jersey and Connecticut.

Established in 1960, our association has spent over six decades fostering a strong sense of community, advancing the interests, rights, and welfare of Korean Americans, and enhancing the friendship and understanding between our Korean American community and the wider public. As a platform for community engagement, we work diligently to promote Korean culture, heritage, and values, while actively supporting the integration of Korean Americans into the American mainstream.

KAAGNY plays a pivotal role in bridging the gap between the East and the West, nurturing the unique Korean American identity, and advocating for issues that directly affect our community. We believe in the power of unity and the strength in diversity, and we strive to provide an inclusive space for Koreans of all ages and backgrounds.

From facilitating cultural events, providing resources and support, to being an active voice in local politics and community affairs, KAAGNY ensures that the voices of half a million Korean Americans are heard, understood, and empowered. With a rich history and a promising future, the Korean American Association of Greater New York continues to serve as a beacon of unity, a pillar of support, and a symbol of Korean pride in the heart of the American Dream.
