Chinese American Service League

The Chinese American Service League (CASL) is non-profit agency which is based in Chicago, Illinois and which provides social services such as English language classes, job training and child care for newly arrived Chinese American immigrants. It has a budget of $9.3 million and helps more than 18,000 people every year in the Chicago area and nearby Midwestern states. Kenneth Tang, a 52 year old immigrant who now owns his own bakery is a typical client success story. He said: “CASL gave me the golden chance to better understand American society at large, and their standards and preference in the baking industry in particular. For immigrants like us, [getting a] chance is what makes all the difference."^[1]
