As a student at the University of Michigan, Park was the co-founder of the Michigan Performance Outreach Workshop (MPOW), a student-run organization with the purpose of bringing performing arts educational opportunities to students in southeastern Michigan to, “foster creative expression, build self-esteem, and strengthen the community.” MPOW hosts an on-campus workshop each semester for 130-200 public-school students that includes performances by University of Michigan students as well as immersive and collaborative workshops in arts-based disciplines. In 2013 Park was awarded with the Willis Patterson Diversity Award for using her “talents and scholarly abilities to enhance the development of, and appreciation for, a more culturally and ethnically diverse community in the School of Music, Theatre & Dance” at the University of Michigan. During her undergraduate years, Park was also involved with the Prison Creative Arts Project, an organization that engages “those impacted by the justice system into artistic collaboration” with University of Michigan students for “mutual learning and growth through theatre, dance, visual art, creative writing, slam poetry, and music” in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Since moving to NYC, Park has participated in events supporting Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (BCEFA). In June 2018, she participated in the 28th annual Broadway Bares, an annual burlesque/striptease show fundraiser for BCEFA, and personally raised nearly $3,000 for the organization. In August 2018 Park participated in Covenant House’s Stage & Screen Sleep Out along with Mean Girls co-stars Kyle Selig and Curtis Holland, and together they raised over $14,000 for the organization which provides shelter, food, and crisis care for the homeless and runaway youth. She also has served as a mentor and held masterclasses for various programs and organizations, such as The Broadway Collective and Broadway Workshop. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Park set up a second Instagram account from which she began offering ten-minute one-on-one lessons and daily question-and-answer sessions via Zoom in exchange for donations to the Actors Fund.
