Empower.

We are a grassroots, community-led nonprofit that works to serve and empower community members of Malden and beyond.

Bringing Communities Together in Malden

The Greater Malden Asian American Community Coalition (GMAACC) is a grassroots, community-led nonprofit that serves and builds power with Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community members of the greater Malden area. Our work includes providing direct services, strengthening coalitions, and advocating for community well-being and equity.

Increasing Civic Engagement

We organize in solidarity with AAPI partners and multiracial community members to advocate for more just systems and policies that build power for our community in greater Malden. Advocacy is integrated throughout all our programs to enhance access to resources, services, and cultural programming, while advancing civic engagement, dignity, and overall quality of life.

Support Our Community Center

“Having the Asian American Community and Cultural Center in Malden would finally give us a home, a place where our experiences and voices are acknowledged. We would finally have the opportunity to stand together, support one another, and build a stronger community.”

— Cheuk Leung Kwong, Malden Resident and GMAACC member.

Asian American Community Center

GMAACC is rooted in the direct stories and experiences of the AAPI community in Greater Malden and beyond. The Asian American Cultural and Community Center offers a place to set down our roots and nourish the wide-ranging programs and activities, from building AAPI youth and community power to advocating for bilingual voting rights, and offering culturally relevant activities and performances.
