History of CPCHistory

Founded in 1965, CPC is a social services organization that creates positive social change.  We empower Asian American, immigrant, and low-income communities in New York City by ensuring they have equitable access to the resources and opportunities needed to thrive.

Today, CPC is the nation's largest Asian American social services organization and we are the trusted partner to 60,000 individuals and families striving to achieve goals in their education, family, community and career.  We welcome community members at every stage of life to over 50 high-quality programs at 35 sites in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens.

Through all of our services, we empower New Yorkers to become agents of positive change in their own lives and in their communities.
