Our Mission

The Chinatown Community Cultural Center (CCCC) is a 501(c)-(3) non-profit organization, located in the thriving Chinatown neighborhood of Washington, DC. The mission of the CCCC is to preserve and promote Chinatown's rich cultural identity while simultaneously focusing on educating and empowering immigrants in Chinatown and the Washington, DC area. The mission of CCCC is two-fold because the success of Chinatown in Washington, DC as a cultural destination and the only ethnic neighborhood is intrinsically connected to and dependent upon a strong community and social structure of people who live and work in the area. CCCC offers programming that celebrate the rich Chinese culture, history, language, and heritage deeply embedded in this community. CCCC also enriches the lives of its members and visitors alike through a variety of programs focused on Chinese Cultural exploration as well as educational programs designed for immigrants living in Chinatown and the Greater Washington, DC area. The CCCC is the heartbeat of Chinatown and Washington, DC's premier destination where East meets West.
