Our Work
CBCAC seeks to equip each community member with the knowledge and tools they need to be engaged citizens who know their rights and can actively participate in society. We do this through civic education, voter engagement, civic leadership training, policy advocacy, and community planning
Civic Education
From voter registration to town halls and listening sessions, we provide equitable opportunities for residents to contribute to civic discourse and give input to governmental programs.
Civic Leadership
We develop the next generation of civic leaders by building youth power, voice, and community.
Community Planning
We work towards an equitable and sustainable future for Chinatown by leading urban planning and development efforts.
“What I love about CBCAC is their dedication to the community, the very same community I grew up in…Now more than ever, I want to be involved in shaping and assisting community members, especially immigrant and working families.”
