About THE KAREN ORGANIZATION OF MINNESOTA

The Karen Organization of Minnesota (KOM) is a Karen-led, donor-facing 501(c)(3) social services organization based in Roseville, MN that provides culturally responsive programs for refugees, immigrants, and their families. KOM delivers a wide range of services including new-arrival supports, employment and career pathways, community health, social services, and youth development (afterschool and summer programs). This profile was prepared after verifying EIN 30-0438142 as the organization’s IRS Employer Identification Number and reviewing KOM’s publicly posted materials and recent filings. In the last 2–3 years KOM updated its mission (2023), maintained in-person walk-in services, expanded workforce and apprenticeship pathways (Apprentice Ready+), and ran youth enrichment partnerships such as a storytelling program with Theater Mu.

Notable achievements
