KKOOM (꿈), meaning “dream” in Korean, exists to inspire and support kids as they dream big and build bright futures.
We are a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that works closely with local Korean children’s homes to provide access to education, mentorship, and enrichment programs.
Making dreams possible for youth in South Korea’s social welfare system.
We nurture the whole child—mind, body, and heart—by providing opportunities for learning, growth, and well-being.
We equip children with the confidence, skills, and support they need to shape their own futures.
We respect and value every child, ensuring they have the opportunity to thrive.
We uphold openness and accountability in everything we do, from finances to decision-making.
We work hand-in-hand with children’s homes to understand and support their needs, build strong relationships, and create lasting impact.
We foster connection, belonging, and experiences that expand perspectives and inspire dreams.
“KKOOM equals the playing field so vulnerable children living in Korea’s social welfare system have access to opportunities to flourish and thrive. At the core of everything we do is to serve a child’s needs, first and foremost. The impact of what we do can be found in the stories of the children we serve.”

Our brand identity is thoughtfully designed to reflect KKOOM’s mission and values. KKOOM’s logo was designed by Amy Fortunato.
Inspired by traditional hanok doors and Korean identity seals, KKOOM opens doors to opportunity and helps children build a sense of home, identity, and belonging.
Our colors pay tribute to traditional Korean color palettes including the colors of the Korean flag. A combination of warm and cool colors provides a unifying balance.
We protect the privacy of the children we serve by covering their faces. This “cover” takes inspiration from sumaksae (수막새), the decorative end tiles in Korean architecture. It symbolizes protection and heritage.
