History:
The Southeast Asian Mutual Assistance Associations Coalition, Inc. (SEAMAAC), founded in 1984, is a United Way of Southeastern Pennsylvania member agency mainly serving the Cambodian, Ethnic Chinese, Hmong, Laotian and Vietnamese immigrant communities in the greater Philadelphia area. SEAMAAC has grown steadily from a staff of 2 to a staff of 35. Over the years, we have also expanded our services to the Ethiopian, Russian/Eastern European and Liberian communities. As a refugee-based organization, SEAMAAC has helped to bring Asian and refugee interests and issues to the collective agendas of refugee resettlement, social services, employment and job training, health, educational and cultural agencies.
