Dayton Association of Chinese Americans

The Dayton Association of Chinese Americans (DACA) is a non-profit organization located in Dayton, Ohio. DACA was formed in 1973 to promote the social, cultural, and educational well-being of the Chinese American residents of Greater Dayton; to promote cultural understanding between the Chinese-American residents of Greater Dayton and Greater Dayton Community, and to enrich the Greater Dayton Community by rendering those special services of a cultural or social nature that our Chinese heritage makes us especially capable of rendering.

The goals of DACA are:

to unite all Chinese descendants in the Dayton area, regardless of origin, religion or political affiliation, by sponsoring various activities to promote mutual understanding and sense of community.
to enrich the social, cultural, and educational lives of the Chinese in the Dayton area.
to advocate Chinese cultural experiences and philosophy for the residents of the greater Dayton area.
to elevate cultural exchange and mutual understanding between Chinese Americans and local residents in the Dayton area.
