The Chinese Culture Center (CCC) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to elevate underserved communities and give voice to equality through education and contemporary art.
The CCC is in the midst of trying out a new program and we need volunteers! If you can spare 4 hours of your time on a Saturday or Friday three times a month to come help out this summer from July to August and like talking to people then contact us!
Volunteers would be doing a 4-hour shift where they do a little bit of outreach, engage with visitors and talk to them about the history of Chinatown, as well as show them the current art exhibit being showcased at the CCC. We will train all volunteers in a 3-4 hour training session to be held tentatively on June 30th or July 1st.
Please message us if you are interested in volunteering with the CCC. If you are able to volunteer we can send you a scheduling form for you to select availabilities.

Mission Statement
CCC elevates underserved communities, and gives voice to equality through process driven contemporary art and education.
Description
Established in 1965, our vision is to contribute to a vibrant community by bringing people together. Last year over 148,000 people participated in art and cultural programs, including 10,000 youth and school children.
The Visual Art Center exhibits cutting edge work by up and coming contemporary artists. We support artists who are "unseen gems" and whose artistic influence would benefit with our support. Many of our artists have subsequently won important honors, and have gone on to worldwide influence through shows in Madrid, Hangzhou, Miami, and New York. Locally, the Visual Art Center also seeks to elevate the community by bringing world class artists to the neighborhood.
The Him Mark Lai Learning Center promotes understanding of our multi-cultural democracy and activism through the lens of the Chinese American story. Through walking tours of Chinatown, excursions to sites across the greater Bay Area, a guided journey to China, and many other educational activities, the public can gain new insights into the past and be inspired to help shape the future.
Free outdoor festivals such as the annual Chinatown Music Festival and Dancing on Waverly also activate and reframe public space.
The CCC is recognized as a successful pillar organization in the City, and is poised to advance to the next level of effectiveness by becoming a leader in the arena of process driven contemporary art and education on a national and international level.
