Serving the underserved for over 20 years
School Connect WA (est. 2022) was birthed out of the community development work of Seattle Chinese Alliance Church’s ministry to Pan-Asian immigrants on Beacon Hill and South Seattle. Since 2004 the church has partnered with Dearborn Park International Elementary School providing a full complement of wrap-around services including a high-achievement, low-cost, full-week elementary afterschool program from 2010-2017 serving 40-50 low-income, largely immigrant, BIPOC students each year.
