KGA believes in the leadership of Southeast Asian girls and women to create social change. We recognize that young women of color are often marginalized in social justice movements; therefore, our programming invests in and empowers young Southeast Asian women and girls between the ages of 14-21 to become leaders in their community and their lives.

C.H.A. - Cultural Historical Arts

Our Cultural Historical Arts Program seeks to use art as a tool to organize the community around issues that deeply impact people's lives. There are two ways to explore this: 3rd Eye Vision Workshops (video/media) and the other is Tongues Afire Workshops (writing/spoken word). Whether through writing, drawing, animation, digital video, or media - the CHA Program seeks to develop young Southeast Asian women to bring cultural, political and social justice awareness to members of KGA, members of the community impacted by Reproductive Justice and Immigrant Refugee Rights issues; Once members develop leadership skills and gain knowledge about themselves, culture and community they have a space to express what they learn and, of course, to have fun in creating the world that they envision.
