About AsianWeek Foundation
Location:
809 SACRAMENTO ST, San Francisco, CA 94109, US
Mission Statement
The AsianWeek Foundation works to develop the voices of Asian America. The U.S. Census Bureau continues to tell us that Asian Americans have proven ourselves in education, earning power, and other traditional benchmarks of success. However, the ability of Asian American voices to be heard is not commensurate with this success. The Foundation accomplishes its mission through programs such as the AsianWeek Newspaper Workshop and through affiliation with projects that promote diversity and cross-cultural understanding. To learn more, visit us at AsianWeek.com.
Description
