The Asian Senior Health and Wellness Project is currently working with 215 seniors who are 60 years old and over to access to the health and mental services. In 2019, we received a small grant from the City of Richmond to conduct the survey and assess the needs and issues affecting the Asian seniors in the City of Richmond where the Asian population represents about 15 percents of the city populations.
 
The Project talked to over 500 Asian seniors and collected the information and data on the health, mental health and other issues affecting their lives.
 
In the past 2 and half years. the Project assisted them to get the Covid 19 testing, vaccinations, and boosters. The project is also working with Contra Costa Food Bank to deliver the fresh produces to needy seniors and their families.

The Youth Enrichment Project is working with 2 middle schools (DeJean and Helm) to provide the after-school extracurricular activities such as tutoring to help the students improve his/her academic performance in the classes.
The students will involve with arts and cultures and sports, and social club activities. This Project is also a partner of the West Contra Costa Unified School District's Community -School Program. The Project will engage with the parents of the students to get involved in their child's education and learn how to be better parents in the process. The Project is using the curriculum (Parents Matter) which was developed by the CDC and widely used throughout the country to train the parents to improve their parenting skills.

The Project is funded by the City of Richmond' Children and Youth Fund.
