Center for Southeast Asians

The mission of the Center for Southeast Asians is to promote the prosperity, heritage, and leadership of SEA in Rhode Island. The CSEA is a welcoming, vibrant, and trusted resource for the advancement of the SEA community. We foster the knowledge and skills necessary to be the leaders of today and tomorrow! We have worked to bridge the language, cultural, and socio-economic barriers between SEA refugees and immigrants and mainstream society. Our programs support community and economic development, community problem-solving, family harmony, and community well-being. Our family support model works in collaboration with existing community-based services and systems. Services range from crisis intervention to support for basic needs.
