Our Mission:

The Shanghai Association in USA was established in 2012 as a Non-Profit Organization by a group of ethnic Shanghainese in the United States. It aims to promote the connection and mutual assistance, community development and exchanges between various ethnic groups through art, economy, sports and education, and to help local immigrants and AAPI communities. The community, especially to socially disadvantaged groups including the disabled, young children and the elderly, provides an understanding of U.S. policies benefits and helps them adjust to life in the United States.
