WHY GKFOLKS FOUNDATION & ITS PROGRAMSFor many new to the United States, the experience can feel like both a miracle and a challenge due to the overwhelming “culture shock.” As these sharp and brilliant minds work to change the trajectory of their own lives and their families' futures, they often face significant cultural and societal barriers.
