We provide child services, elder services, employment training services, and family counseling, and housing and financial education to all who walk through our doors, offering vital physical, economic, mental, and social support to some 17,000 clients each year.

Our resources enable the Chinese American Service League clients to thrive and — in turn — make valuable contributions to the greater Chicago community. In the words of one of those clients, “We had nothing but our dreams. The Chinese American Service League helped us realize them.”
