Community programs on Staten Island

The Staten Island Chinese Community Association (SICCA) connects residents through education, family support, volunteer service, and cultural exchange. Explore our areas of work and contact the team about current opportunities.

Education & youth development

Language learning, academic guidance, and community workshops are part of SICCA’s education focus. Our founder’s work also includes youth sports, healthy-living initiatives, educational enrichment, and after-school growth. Contact the team to ask about current opportunities, participation, or educational partnerships.

Older adults & community connection

SICCA’s community work includes caring activities, wellness information, and opportunities for older adults to connect. We recognize that language, cultural adjustment, and isolation can make it harder to find support. Tell us what you or a family member needs so the team can direct your inquiry.

Families & community resources

We help families learn about community resources and create opportunities for parents, children, and neighbors to participate together. New immigrant families can contact SICCA with questions about local information, community connection, and available support. Ask us about the resources relevant to your situation.

Chinese culture & cross-cultural exchange

Cultural gatherings bring neighbors and generations together. Our documented community activities include the 2026 Lunar New Year celebration and participation in Staten Island’s Multicultural Food Festival. Explore the event photographs and videos, or ask about participating in a future cultural program.

Legal information & public safety

SICCA’s areas of work include helping residents find legal resources, understand available information, and connect with public-safety initiatives. Contact us about the kind of information or referral you need. For an emergency, call 911; use SICCA’s contact channels for community inquiries.

Volunteer with SICCA

Volunteers help make community activities possible. Tell us about your interests, languages, skills, and availability. Our Director of Administration & Volunteer Management coordinates recruitment, training, scheduling, and team management. The team can discuss opportunities that match current program needs.
