Our mission is to strengthen the development of Asian American children and their families by providing education, support and empowerment to the families.

     Asian Family Support Center is a collaborative project between Asian Women’s Resource Center and Kai Ming, Inc., mainly serving the Richmond and Sunset communities. The program provides structured preschool activities for children (11/2 to 5 years old) to develop their motor, socialization, and independence skills. Mental health screening and assessment are provided on-site for the children. Parent support groups and educational workshops help parents develop effective parenting and informational skills. The programs are designed to develop and strengthen the lives of children and their families.

History

     Established in 1880, Gum Moon Women’s Residence provides transitional housing facilities for women in transition. In 1984, Gum Moon established a community outreach project known as Asian Women’s Resource Center (AWRC).  AWRC provides a wide range of services for low to moderate-income monolingual and bilingual Asian immigrants. AWRC offers opportunities for cross-cultural experience, self-improvement and leadership development and is opened to all members of our community. In 2003, AWRC was awarded a grant to start a family resource center to serve the Richmond and Sunset Communities. This was the start of Asian Family Support Center.
