介绍:Established in 1979 as a Chinese language school, the Chinese Community Center has played a leading role in welcoming newcomers to America and in creating opportunities for everyone to contribute to the Houston community. Our Center serves over 10,000 families annually. As the Center celebrates over 33 years of service, it continues to expand and improve the services contributing to its mission: "to bridge East and West by enriching families with educational, cultural, and social service programs." The largest Asian-led social service agency in Texas, the Center received its first public funding in 1989 and became a United Way of Greater Houston agency in 1991. Our current location in the heart of Southwest Houston is a 57,000 sq. ft. facility on 5.7 acres of land.
The Chinese Community Center is a comprehensive social service community center in Southwest Houston, Texas, that provides support programs to a diverse population. The Center conducts educational and social service programs that help new immigrants settle into their new communities and acculturate, gain personal independence and economic self-sufficiency and quickly become able participants and productive, contributing members of American society. The Center strives to meet the evolving needs of the community through culturally competent and affordable social service programs and administrative support, and providing multi-purpose facilities for local service organizations and community members.
Our key initiatives include youth programs that provide quality childcare, after school, summer camp, language, and leadership activities for over 1,000 participants aged 1-year to 18-years old. Our adult education programs aim to equip immigrants with skills to succeed in the workforce, through year-round English classes, citizenship classes, specialized job training, financial education, home-buyer education and other courses. Our senior programs provide access to employment, social services, health promotion, and social activities. Community and cultural programs provide language, cultural, enrichment and recreational opportunities for youth, adults, and the whole family.
Reflecting the diverse communities it serves, the Center's collaborative partners include the Childcare Council, Collaborative for Children, City of Houston Mayor's After-School Achievement Program, Harris County Department of Education, Houston Community College System, Houston Read Commission, H.O.P.E. Clinic/Asian American Health Coalition, Texas Workforce Commission, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, among many others. Collaborations among community organizations assist CCC in maximizing delivery of our various services to the community.
