The Chinese American community has been part of the Portland area for over 150 years, and is an essential part of Portland and Pacific Northwest society today. The goals of the Northwest Chinese Alliance are to broaden public awareness and understanding of Chinese American history in the United States, to showcase traditional Chinese performing arts, and in general, to be a community resource. This initial founding of this organization took place in December 2010. More about our history.
The mission of the organization is to:
- Broaden public awareness and understanding of traditional Chinese arts and culture
- Provide training of our next generation of dancers and leaders
- Provide resources and networking opportunities to community members to participate in very large scale performances not possible by a single group.
- Build capacity for future leaders and performers in the local community.
- Engage our community members to provide support to the general community.
Our programs aim to cover the following areas:
- Rose Festival Grand Floral Parade
- Dance performances requiring large number of team members
- Outreach to increase cultural and appreciations for the next generations of performers
- Be a resource, and supporter of other organizations with similar missions, to the local community.
