Olympia Area Chinese Association
About Olympia Area Chinese Association
Since its inception, the Olympia Area Chinese Association has served as a cornerstone organization for the Chinese community in Olympia, Washington, embodying a mission to preserve cultural heritage while building bridges between cultures. What began as the Olympia Area Chinese Fellowship has grown into a trusted 501(c)(3) non-profit that understands the unique needs of Olympia's Chinese residents and their families. The organization recognizes that cultural preservation goes beyond celebrations—it encompasses language education, intergenerational connections, and opportunities for members to build meaningful relationships within their community. OACA's approach is deeply rooted in creating spaces where Chinese culture can flourish and be shared authentically with the broader Olympia community. Through its Chinese School, the organization ensures that younger generations maintain fluency and cultural literacy in Chinese language and traditions. The association's calendar reflects genuine community priorities, from hosting potluck gatherings and table tennis events to organizing environmental education seminars and health workshops that address real community needs. OACA's volunteer-driven model demonstrates strong community commitment, with members actively participating in local initiatives and charitable events throughout Olympia. The organization's non-partisan stance and inclusive approach have made it a respected voice in Olympia's civic and cultural landscape, consistently bringing people together to celebrate shared values and build lasting community bonds.
