Our History
Approximately 7.58% of Worcester's population is Asian, which totals to about 14,100 people.
Founded in 1999 and established as a nonprofit agency in 2001, the Southeast Asian Coalition strives to address the lack of culturally and linguistically appropriate services for Southeast Asian immigrants in Central Massachusetts. Through the organization’s continued efforts, SEACMA has been able to develop a strong, positive reputation among members and collaborators. Our organization has become a trusted cultural community center and one that is contacted first when members are in need of help.
