The Chinese Progressive Association (CPA) is a grassroots organization which works for full equality and empowerment of the Chinese community in Greater
Boston and beyond. We work to improve the living and working standards of
Chinese Americans and to involve ordinary community members in making
decisions that affect our lives.
The goal of the CPA's Adult Education Program is to help Chinese immigrants
enter the social, economic, and political mainstream of US society by
providing English language learning, naturalization preparation, and civic
participation opportunities.
