Koreatown Needs You

Koreatown is one of the most diverse and densely populated neighborhoods in Los Angeles. The challenges here - housing, public safety, language access, economic opportunity - are real and ongoing. Ktown Team exists because residents decided to organize around those challenges instead of waiting for someone else to.

We are in our founding stage - building the legal structure, designing the tools, and documenting how the organization will work. The wiki you are reading is part of that: a public record of what we are building and why, written before launch so that anyone who joins can see the full picture from day one.

Getting involved doesn't require a specific skill set or background. Some people contribute technical skills. Others bring lived experience, cultural knowledge, or simply time they are willing to share. The community benefits from all of it.

How Ktown Team Is Designed

We are organized around a flat hierarchy - no chain of command, open decision-making, and a belief that the people closest to the problems should lead the solutions. Work will be organized into teams focused on specific areas like housing, public safety, health, education, and technology.

Everything we build is designed to be transparent. Our policies, finances, and tools are public. If you want to understand how the organization is structured, the Getting Started guide is a good place to begin.
