Kollaboration began as an arts and entertainment nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting positive and accurate perceptions of Asians and Pacific Islanders. It provides a platform for young artists to showcase their talents. Founded in 2000 by Paul PK Kim, Kollaboration began as a single show in Los Angeles, CA. It now produces 15 shows across 13 cities in North America. Each year, Kollaboration involves hundreds of volunteers and performers, tens of thousands of live audience members, and millions of viewers online.Our mission, "Empowerment Through Entertainment," speaks to the diverse talents of API youth. Kollaboration seeks to empower (1) API youth by providing them with a creative outlet, (2) API families by offering a platform for communication that bridges the gap between 1st generation parents and latter generation youth, and (3) the API community at large, by raising awareness for other critical community issues and NGOs.
