Transitional Life Pathways for Asian American Young Adults is a five-day immersive program that KCSC is offering for the first time for the Graduating High School Class of 2026 that supports students in navigating the transition into adulthood through a focus on mental health, identity, and practical life skills. The program begins and ends with guided pre- and post-reflection days which take place at the Korean Community Service Center’s office. The three days in between take place at Camp Indianola where students will engage in outdoor activities alongside hands-on learning in cooking, collaboration, and everyday life skills. Whether you are attending a two or four year institution of higher learning, joining the workforce, taking a gap year, or taking a new path, you are invited to register for this program.
