Northeast Philadelphia Chinese Association (NEPCA)
AKA: NEPCA of Culture Trust Greater Philadelphia
Introduction
The language barrier has created significant challenges in the daily lives of residents who do not speak English. The Northeast Philadelphia Chinese Association (NEPCA) was founded in March 2018 to help Chinese immigrants in Northeast Philadelphia navigate public resources and services and connect with their community.
NEPCA has played an instrumental role in expanding the availability of Chinese-language services in public institutions and raising awareness of the needs and concerns of our constituents. We also empower and mobilize local Chinese residents to participate in community service, give back to their communities, and engage in civic affairs so that their voices can be heard and represented in mainstream society.
We envision a future in which Chinese immigrants and all immigrant communities work alongside fellow Americans to build a strong, inclusive, and vibrant society. We strive for a community where every individual's presence, contributions, and cultural identity are valued and appreciated, and where everyone has the opportunity to enjoy a fulfilling and healthy life with joy, safety, and dignity.
Our Mission
The mission of the Northeast Philadelphia Chinese Association (NEPCA) is to ensure Asian Americans have equitable access to information and services while empowering them to actively contribute to their community
Our Objectives
Community Services: Expanding equitable access to public resources for Chinese and underserved residents through strong local partnerships.
Communication & Outreach: Connecting Chinese residents across the region to share information, navigate essential services, and stay engaged.
Life Enrichment: Promoting well-being, personal development, and high quality of life through tailored community activities and programs.
Civic Engagement: Advocate for shared interests, bridge language and cultural divides, promote mutual understanding, and foster active participation in community building.
