About ASIAN COMMUNITY & CULTURAL CENTER
Location:
144 N 44TH ST STE A, LINCOLN, NE 68503, US
Mission Statement
To support and empower ALL immigrants and refugees through our programs and services and advance the sharing of Asian and other cultural heritage with the community at large.
Description
In 1992, organization began for the Asian Community and Cultural Center. Leaders in the community from multiple Asian backgrounds joined together, initially meeting in one another’s homes, to envision what the ACCC could become. They wanted to create a community space for education, welfare, recreation, and fellowship, to connect and share cultural heritage and promote the well-being of their peoples. They imagined that the Center would serve both long-term and recently arrived immigrants and refugees from Asian countries as well as native-born Asian Americans. These leaders joined forces with the Lincoln Interfaith Council which was providing support for recently arrived Vietnamese refugees. On October 1, 1994, the Center opened its doors at 140 S. 27th Street with bi-lingual Vietnamese speaking staff. In March 1998, ACCC became a 501 (C) (3) and has enjoyed broad community financial support. Starting in 2006 the ACCC served as a hub for all recently arrived refugee communities in Lincoln. Now after over 25 years of service, many immigrants and refugees still see the Asian Center as "home" regardless of ethnic background and national origin.
