Empowering Communities. Preserving Culture. Transforming Lives Since 1978.
Founded in 1978, the Sacramento Chinese Community Service Center began as a resource for newly arrived Chinese immigrants navigating the challenges of resettlement and cultural adaptation. What started as a small support network has grown into a thriving community institution committed to honoring and preserving cultural identity while uplifting diverse communities across Sacramento.
Through our alliance with Sacramento City Unified School District, Elk Grove Unified School District, Twin Rivers Unified School District, and Natomas Unified School District, we currently manage out-of-school time partnerships with over 65 schools that provide social services, employment training, health education, and youth programming in Sacramento.
Recognized for advancing student success and fostering deep community engagement, the Center continues to be a trusted resource and advocate for Sacramento’s most vulnerable populations. Together, we are building stronger futures—join us and become part of a legacy that
transforms lives.
The purpose of this organization is to assist immigrants, refugees and other under-served individuals in the greater Sacramento area to achieve economic self-sufficiency, social empowerment, and cultural appreciation. The Center accomplishes this mission by providing quality educational, vocational, human services and health programs to these individuals.
The mission of our expanded learning programs is to provide innovative, youth-driven, high quality out-of-school-time opportunities that include building school-community partnerships, engaging families to participate in their children’s learning, and learning through project-based enrichment that complements the school day.
We are committed to delivering the highest quality in all that we do, ensuring our programs truly make a difference in the lives of those we serve. Excellence means constantly learning, growing, and innovating so that our community can thrive. It is both our standard and our promise to those who rely on us.
Compassion is at the heart of our mission. We believe every individual deserves to feel valued, supported, and uplifted, no matter their background or circumstance. Through caring, we build trust and create spaces where students feel safe to learn, grow, and succeed.
We honor the dignity, culture, and perspectives of every person we encounter. Respect is the foundation of meaningful relationships, and we believe it is essential to creating inclusive programs that reflect and celebrate the diversity of our community. By listening and valuing every voice, we strengthen the bonds that unite us.
We believe strong communities are built through connection, collaboration, and shared purpose. Our work is rooted in bringing people together- families, schools, partners, and neighbors to create opportunities and build brighter futures. When our community thrives, we all thrive.
We know that lasting change is never achieved alone. By working hand in hand with colleagues, families, and community partners, we amplify our collective strengths. Teamwork allows us to celebrate successes together and overcome challenges with unity and resilience.
Your support helps us provide essential programs, empower youth, and uplift underserved communities.
