Northeast Philadelphia Chinese Association (NEPCA) of Culture Trust

The Northeast Philadelphia Chinese Association (NEPCA) was founded in March 2018 to assist the Chinese immigrants in Northeast Philadelphia to navigate public resources and services and to connect to their community. NEPCA volunteers have been instrumentally stimulating the increase in Chinese language availability in public services and gaining attention to the needs of our constituents. We also facilitate and lead local Chinese residents to participate in community services to give back and to engage in civic matters to have voices in mainstream society. We envision that, with time, Chinese and all immigrants will work alongside other Americans to build a strong community. Their existence will be valued and appreciated. They can enjoy a whole, healthy life with joy, safety, and dignity.

Our Mission

The mission of the Northeast Philadelphia Chinese Association is to support Asian Americans in gaining equitable information and services and, at the same time, to be contributors to the community.

Our Objectives

Community Services: Build partnerships with community service partners to make public resources accessible to the Chinese as well as underserved residents in Northeast Philadelphia

Communication: Build a communication network among Chinese residents in the region to exchange information, assist with navigation for public resources, and keep informed in general matters

Life Enrichment: Implement and support programs and activities that promote community members' well-being, personal growth, and quality of life.

Civic Engagement: Advocate interests in common concerns and engagement in community building, bridge language and cultural gaps, and increase mutual understanding and awareness of diversity.
