Fifty for 50
Throughout 2015, the Chinese-American Planning Council, Inc. (CPC) has been celebrating its 50th anniversary together with many individuals and families we have served in the community, as well as supporters who have contributed time, talent or treasure over the course of our history. We are grateful for the privilege to serve Chinese-American, immigrant and low-income communities in New York City by providing services, skills and resources toward economic self-sufficiency. Simply stated: We fight poverty.
We count on resources to build a bright future for people age 2 to over 102, and support those in need of our culturally-sensitive programs and services to open access to multi-social services, early childhood and school-age child care services, youth services, workforce development and senior services. Our unique offerings include: Ladders for Leaders youth program, luxury retail training program, special needs services, HIV/AIDS services, Asian Child Care Resource & Referral which attained Quality Assurance and national recognition by Child Care Aware® of America.
Help accelerate progress and keep CPC on the path of innovation and creativity as we move into our next 50 years. Everyone can contribute.
