AARC VISION
We envision a society where all people feel like they belong. Our Asian diaspora represents many cultures, languages, ethnicities, nationalities, and migration histories. We recognize that our communities are complex, similar and different. When we share our cultures, our struggles, and our histories, we offer each other a space to heal and celebrate. When we create community, all communities belong.
AARC VALUES
Diversity - acknowledging our cultures and histories.
Solidarity - recognizing our interconnectedness with ourselves and other communities of color.
Peace - creating space for healing and unity.
Collaboration - building relationships and co-creating.
Intergenerational - connecting through stories.
Celebration - celebrating our intersectional identities and cultures.
AARC MISSION
The Asian American Resource Center’s mission is to create a space of belonging and healing for Asian American communities in Austin and beyond. We do this through community collaborations and partnerships; providing rental space; organizing cultural, educational and health wellness programs; and curating art and historical exhibitions. We lead with our values and our vision, so that our diverse communities are supported and connected.
