The Chinese Community

Members are often unfamiliar with their rights and become the victims of unscrupulous companies, employers, or individuals.

CPA provides know-your-rights information, counseling, and referral services to community members on a drop-in basis. We do not duplicate services provided by other agencies but focus on service gaps and on helping people learn about their rights and learn to help themselves.

CPA also collaborates with Greater Boston Legal Services’ Asian Outreach Program to provide a weekly legal service clinic in our office.
