CPC Project Reach is a youth and adult-run, multiracial, multi-gender, substance abuse prevention, and anti-discrimination training center. As an anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-ageist, youth rights organization, CPC Project Reach asserts the rights of young people to identify those barriers/problems/institutions (drugs, gangs, discrimination, etc.) that disempower and debilitate them and to organize support groups, actions, campaigns, and projects that concretely confront and change those conditions and institutions. Chinese-American Planning Council's (CPC's) mission is to promote social and economic empowerment of Chinese-American, low income, immigrant communities. CPC was founded in 1965 as a grassroots, community-based organization in response to the end of the Chinese Exclusion years and the passing of the Immigration Reform Act of 1965, which brought waves of Asian immigrants to New York City. CPC is now the largest social service agency for Asian Americans in the country, serving 60,000 New Yorkers each year. |
