Southeast Asian Development Center

This holiday season, you can #SupportAFamilyLikeMine. We're raising $30,000 to help hundreds of families in our community—families like Pam's—get access to the support they need for economic success, health and wellness, and youth development. Every dollar you give creates real impact for families who, like many of ours, have faced challenges and found strength through community. Learn more about Pam's story and our campaign here: https://lnkd.in/eMZ_V8Zi! ??

We were proud to partner with the California Attorney General's Office to host an incredible youth community conversations event right here at SEADC. Youth from all over the Bay Area gathered to share their voices, experiences and hopes for the future. These conversations are all part of a larger initiative to hear directly from young leaders across California, and we're grateful to play our part in lifting up their stories. A huge shoutout to our facilitators: Damon Brown, special assistant attorney general, and Virginia Corrigan, deputy attorney general for the Department of Justice's Bureau of Children’s Justice And much respect to Tong Thao, the mastermind behind organizing this from the Office of Community Awareness, Response and Engagement!

The 3rd annual Ancestors Day was a beautiful success, even with the unpredictable weather! We're grateful to have partnered with the Center for Empowering Refugees and Immigrants and the Presidio Trust to bring this day to life. ???? Over 150 people joined us—including monks, laymen and some amazing performers—to honor seven generations of our ancestors. A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible!

We had the BEST time at our team-building day in Golden Gate Park this summer! From exploring the beautiful Japanese Tea Garden to getting lost in the beauty of the Conservatory of Flowers, it was all about connecting, laughing and making memories.
