OCA-DC

OCA-Asian Pacific American Advocates (previously known as the Organization of Chinese Americans) is a national non-profit organization founded in 1973, whose stated mission is to advance the social, political, and economic well-being of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) in the United States, touching tens of thousands of individuals each year through its extensive network of over 100 chapters, affiliates, and partners from around the country. In addition, the organization strives to foster development, leadership, and engagement through its various programs. OCA Greater Washington DC Chapter (OCA-DC) is one of the founding chapters of OCA. We work as a chapter to amplify the impact of OCA’s work to fulfill its mission through local initiatives in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area while also supporting OCA National programs.
