Chinatown Service Center is the largest community-based Chinese American health and human service organization in Southern California. With a focus on Los Angeles County, CSC offers a range of services through six departments. These are (1) Social Service, (2) Counseling, (3) Family Health, (4) Community Economic Development, (5) Workforce Development, and (6) Youth Development. Services are available in a variety of Chinese dialects, including Cantonese, Mandarin, Toisan, Chiu Jou, and languages including Vietnamese, Spanish, and Khmer (Cambodian).
CSC is a private, non-profit organization, incorporated under the Internal Revenue Code, section 501(c)(3), for the purpose of serving immigrants, refugees, and others in need of assistance in their adjustment to American life. We currently operate programs with funds from the federal government, State of California, the County and City of Los Angeles, United Way and other sources. CSC employs about ninety (90) staff and has an annual operating budget of about $5.7 million.
The growth of staff and services at CSC since its modest beginnings in 1971 reflects an expansion of the Center's goals. Over and above "adjustment to life in the United States," CSC promotes broadened individual accomplishment and participation in the general community to the extent of the individual's physical and mental capabilities which is, after all, the embodiment of the American dream.
To achieve these expanded goals, the CSC continues to:
• Assist communities in developing necessary and appropriate social, family, health-care, housing, and economic resources.
• Assist persons and their families in finding and making effective use of resources for developing their abilities and living purposeful lives.
• Establish and maintain programs and services which assist immigrants and refugees in becoming productive members and successful small business owners of the community
• Promote a climate of acceptance of persons without regard to race, ethnicity, country of origin, or socio-economic condition.
• Develop programs that help youths gain a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and power
Those associated with CSC take great pride in the role the Center plays toward the betterment of the community-at-large. Finally, the CSC remains dedicated to assisting all segments of the community to achieve the dreams and fulfill the promises of this American society.
