“CKYC has expanded my community by introducing me to new people who are just like me from all over the state. Through this networking, the organization has helped me grow as a leader by developing my communication and collaboration skills!” 

“CKYC helped me understand more of what it means to actually put in the work that is needed for an organization to function. It takes a lot of teamwork and collaboration to be able to implement events possible."

“The organization helps me grow because I have more knowledge about my cultural background. I learned to love and appreciate my culture even more with the Karen community and friends I have made.” 

“The leadership conference helped me in my academic studies by keeping me organized with my classes and social life. It helped me to be more involved with school while managing time wisely.” 

"CKYC offered me a Marketing, Branding, and Design Intern position, where I worked directly with the team. During my internship, I was able to put my knowledge into practice. With the team, I grew my knowledge and skill set, which supported my interest as a Communication Design (Graphic Design) student."
