About Us:
Chinatown Manpower Project (CMP) was founded in 1972 as a private, not-for-profit community-based organization to serve immigrant and refugee populations in the New York metropolitan area with a particular focus on the Asian community. With over 35 years of experience, today we help approximately 2,700 clients per year. Our diverse array of programming focuses on economic development services and educational opportunities to facilitate this vulnerable population�s entry into the American mainstream and help them transition into economically sustaining, contributing and productive members of American society as quickly as possible. To achieve this goal, our core programming is centered on three key areas: 1) adult literacy and training, including language and job skills training, job readiness instruction and job placement; 2) youth programming; and 3) our Business Outreach Center (BOC). All of our programs and services are culturally sensitive and provided by staff multi-lingual in English, Cantonese, Mandarin and other Asian languages.
