Chinese American Service League

Housed in the Kam L. Liu Building, CASL the largest and most comprehensive not-for-profit, community-based social service agency in the Midwest, dedicated to the needs of Chinese Americans, was founded in 1978, and now serves over 17,000 clients each year. CASL's 250 multilingual and multicultural professional and support staff with CASL's $13 million budget supports programming that mainly serves newly-arrived immigrants who often do not have formal education, possess few transferable job skills, and know little of the world around them. Since many of these individuals do not speak English and sometimes have no family or friends in the area, CASL becomes their instant family, friend, and teacher.
