Our Values
Community Health and Wellness
Community health and wellness are essential and a core value of our programming. We focus on culturally specific issues and engage youth, families, and elders in improving their own individual and collective well-being.
Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Empowerment Project
Participating Organizations:
Our Ping Pong Club and Hua Xia Multi Arts Group are a part of our work for the AAPI Empowerment Project.
AAPI Empowerment Project and Project RISE are funded by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s Office of Problem Gambling Services
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.
Youth Project for Asian Wellness (YPAW)
Youth also ideate and create projects that address the social and emotional needs of Asian American youth in Malden, as well as for a way for youth to improve the wellness conditions of their own communities.
Public Health Outreach
We previously collaborated with several organizations, including the MA Department of Public Health, Malden Neighbors Helping Neighbors, and Ward 3 City Councillor Amanda Linehan to provide culturally relevant COVID-19 vaccine access and awareness. We sent out language-specific mailers, provided COVID-19 tests, and hosted a number of vaccine clinics.
