Calling All Volunteers!

The Coalition for Asian American Children and Families (CACF), the nation’s only pan-Asian children’s advocacy organization, aims to improve the health and well-being of Asian Pacific American children and families in New York. The 2010 Chinatown Summer Street Festival is hosted by one of CACF’s partner organizations, Asian Americans for Equality. To learn more about the festival, go to http://www.aafe.org/.

The NY Chapter of Ascend is looking for both professional and student volunteers to help facilitate children’s arts and crafts activities which include making Chinese dragon streams, Japanese fish kites, Nepali butterflies and Hawai’ian leis out of construction paper, glue, stickers, string, scissors and more!
