Our mission at AACW, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is to enhance the overall well-​being and health of Asian communities in the US. We believe in a holistic approach that ​respects cultural nuances and fosters a supportive environment for individuals and ​families. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to break down barriers, reduce stigma, and ​provide accessible resources for a healthier, more resilient community.

Our Vision: To empower Asian communities through ​comprehensive wellness programs, research, and ​advocacy, creating a world where everyone has the ​opportunity to thrive.

Our Values:

• Inclusivity: Embracing diversity and ensuring ​everyone feels valued and heard.
  
• Compassion: Providing empathetic and culturally ​sensitive care and support.
  
• Collaboration: Working together with community ​members, partners, and stakeholders to maximize ​our impact.
  
• Integrity: Upholding the highest standards of honesty ​and transparency in all our endeavors.
  

We recognize the unique challenges that arise from generational gaps within Asian communities. Our ​programs are designed to address these gaps, fostering understanding and harmony between different ​generations. Through intergenerational activities, educational workshops, and family counseling, we aim ​to bridge cultural and generational divides, creating stronger family units and more cohesive ​communities. Our programs aim to address unique challenges among adolescents, middle-aged adults, ​and elderly adults within Asian communities.
