    COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS

     

    The We Run Chinatown Community partners all promote chinatown while supporting and serving the chinatown community in impactful ways.

      Please consider supporting our community partners.

          The Coalition for a Better Chinese American Community unites the resources of member organizations and individual members to empower Chinese American communities in Greater Chicago. As a coalition of member organizations and individuals, CBCAC carries out its mission through civic education, issue advocacy, communication with policy makers, and community mobilization.

          Yin He Dance Company bridges East and West, past and present, via repertory works passed down by master teachers and new works, especially those by members of the Chinese diaspora. Yin He Dance Center provides accessible classes for dancers of all ages, which reflect our heritage and diversity. Through these programs, we hope to build new avenues of cultural dialogue and most importantly, share the joy of dance with all communities.

          Midwest Asian Health Association’s mission is to reduce health disparities for medically underserved, low-income populations in the Midwest through providing culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate services, which include community outreach education, screening and immunization, linkage to care, mental health services, and research and policy advocacy.

          Asian American Cultural Center Chicago Chinese School (CCS) was founded in 2006 with the mission to provide a superb learning environment in Chinese language and culture for families in the Chicago area. CCS offers Chinese language courses and culture related activities for students.
