Institutions that serve Hmong needs
Healthcare, education, employment and social services that actually work for Hmong families — in Hmong language and Hmong cultural terms.

What we do
Four aims holding up one community.
Education for every Hmong child
From birth through college. Parents learn the system, schools learn our families, and children stop falling through the gap between them.
Programs that honor culture and language
Policy and programming built on Hmong values, customs and language — modernizing Hmong culture while keeping it alive.
The first Hmong Community Center of Merced
A permanent home for all Hmong people in Merced — for elders, for youth, for ceremony, for gathering, for the generations after us.
Peb txhais tes — many hands, one Merced.
