Asian Service Center

Asian Service Center (ASC) is a registered non-profit organization in Snohomish County, Washington; we provide services and advocacies to Asian and other underserved communities in every aspect. ASC believes all community members can succeed in American society, create their own success stories, and benefit all of society. ASC empowers and enables members of Asian and other underserved communities to achieve their full potential and contribute to the larger society, through culturally and linguistically appropriate services and programs. Our website is: www.AsianServiceCenterWA.org

ASC was founded by two Asian immigrants who have experienced firsthand the challenges and struggles that come with building a new life in a foreign country. As immigrants, we faced countless barriers to accessing essential services and

resources, such as language barriers, cultural differences, and discrimination. Despite these challenges, we persevered and worked hard to establish our careers and build our families in the United States. However, we never forgot the struggles we faced and the barriers that still exist for many other immigrants and underserved communities.

As immigrants who have overcome adversity and achieved success in our adopted home, we are passionate about helping others do the same. We believe that all community members can succeed in American society, create their own success stories, and benefit all of society. What we do is breaking barriers and building bridges to success and for the greater good. With ASC, we are committed to making this vision a reality. We rely on the support of generous donors to continue this important work, and we invite you to join us in making a difference in the lives of our communities.
