Neighborhood Involvement

Through our community work, CCSC has established an extensive network with diverse organizations in San Francisco and throughout the Bay Area to assist participants with additional supportive services. Organizations such as San Francisco Wu Yee Children's Center, local YMCA/YWCA offices and many local job-training agencies are long-term partners of CCSC. We have a 15-year partnership with City College and a 12-year partnership with the Department of Public Health. We have collaborated with Wu Yee Children’s Services, Chinatown Community Children’s Center, and Head Start Childcare Centers. We have presented the Cantonese Opera in San Francisco, and we have a history of working with local unions and many restaurants to provide employment for our clients and employees for these employers.

Also, through our FIT program, we assist the elderly at On-Lok Senior Center and at Self-Help For The Elderly on a volunteer basis. FIT convened its own Moon Festival for students from Lincoln, Newcomer and Galileo for the first time this year. The Moon Festival is an event designed to bring families in the community closer through opening channels of communication and stimulating discussion in a friendly atmosphere.

CCSC has a consistent record of participation in Chinatown neighborhood cleanup activities. In 1999 and 2000, CCSC partnered with the Mayor’s Office in extensive Chinatown cleanup and maintenance programs and neighborhood beautification projects.

In 2000, CCSC served as the convenor and focal point of the San Francisco Spring Chinatown Cleanup, efficiently recruiting and coordinating 300 volunteers, City and State agencies and community based organizations for the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Beautification.
