APANO unites Asians to build power, develop leaders, and advance equity through organizing, advocacy, community development and cultural work. We envision a just world where Asians and communities who share our aspirations and struggles have the power, resources, and voice to determine our own futures, and where we work in solidarity to drive political, social, economic, and cultural change.

APANO is a culturally specific organization serving Oregon’s growing Asian communities. APANO’s community service programs prioritize those who are under-resourced or lack critical support, including youth, elders, and those with limited English proficiency. In our focused service areas we engage with Asian and Asian American small business owners, immigrant small business owners, youth (high school and college age), parents and caregivers, and artists and creatives of color, especially those identifying as Asian.
