Koreatown Organizing to Reduce Youth Opioids [Use]
KORYO (Koreatown Organizing to Reduce Youth Opioids [Use]) aims to increase and expand KYCC’s capacity to provide youth ages 12-24 with Opioid Use Disorder and Stimulant Use Disorder services in the Koreatown community by conducting needs assessment, enhancing infrastructure and networks, and improving pathways to treatment services. KORYO uses youth-guided, culturally-relevant, data and outcome–based strategies to strengthen network capacity.
