Cambodian Association of Greater Philadelphia

Agency Overview The Cambodian Association of Greater Philadelphia is the city’s foundation of social, health and education programs for Cambodian refugees and their families. CAGP has achieved extraordinary organizational development and growth over the past thirty five years. We are the only organization of its kind, specializing in providing innovative and unique bilingual programs and services to meet the combined social, economic, health and educational needs of Cambodians in Philadelphia, many of whom are survivors of the Cambodian genocide or descendants of survivors. Though we specialize in servicing the under-served Cambodian community, all our services and programs are open to and utilized by our non-Cambodian community members as well. In addition to the programs and services which were created to meet the basic needs of our community, we provide Cambodian cultural programs to preserve, share and integrate our distinctive and noble heritage into Philadelphia’s rich cultural history. Due to the extensive, as well as grassroots nature of our programming, our nationally recognized agency directly impacts and empowers low-income individuals and communities in the Greater Philadelphia area. Mission The mission of the Cambodian Association of Greater Philadelphia is to improve the quality of life of Cambodian-Americans in Greater Philadelphia through direct service, advocacy and cultural education. Vision The vision of the Cambodian Association of Greater Philadelphia is to empower Cambodian-Americans to be productive and successful individuals in society at large.
