CAPI'sBoardOverview

CAPI USA has a mission to guide refugees and immigrants in their journey toward self-determination and social equality. Established in 1982 as the Center for Asians and Pacific Islanders to support Southeast Asian refugee resettlement following the Vietnam War, the organization changed its name to CAPI in 2008 to be more inclusive of all refugee and immigrant communities.

With core values rooted in equity, inclusion and accessibility, CAPI provides direct services to 10,000+ lower-income people (95% BIPOC) annually in its Community Advocacy, Economic Empowerment, and Refugee Services initiatives:
