The Southeast Asia Resource Action Center (SEARAC), founded in 1979, is
a national organization advancing the interests of Cambodian, Laotian,
and Vietnamese Americans through leadership development, capacity
building, and community empowerment. SEARAC fosters the development of
nonprofit organizations led by and for Southeast Asian Americans and
serves as a coalition-builder and leader, carries out action-oriented
research projects, and strengthens the capacity of community-based
organizations such as mutual assistance associations (MAAs) and
faith-based organizations (FBOs). We also foster civic engagement among
Southeast Asian Americans and represent our communities at the national
level in Washington, DC.

opening of access to publicly funded services to SEA elders and their
families; and, creating new cadres and networks of community leaders to
ensure that public institutions and other decision makers attend to the
needs of SEA elders and communities, especially in the area of health
access and health care. The REAL Project provides civic engagement and
grassroots advocacy trainings for refugee elders.

Location of Position: SEARAC California Office - Sacramento, CA

Major Responsibilities:
• In coordination with SEARAC staff and project partners, provide
training and technical assistance in organizational development and
community education topics related to improving the elders services of

regional advocacy trainings for SEA elders and friends in the Bay Area,
