About Organization of Chinese Americans Asian Pacific American Advocates Chicago

OCA Greater Chicago focuses on professional and leadership development and is dedicated to promoting the economic, professional, and social well-being of AAPIs in the Greater Chicago area.

Founded in 1973, OCA – Asian Pacific American Advocates is a 501(c)(3) national non-profit, membership-driven organization based in Washington, D.C. with over 100 chapters and affiliates around the country. Touching hundreds of thousand of AAPIs each year, OCA works with its organizational partners, members, chapters, and supporters to empower the next generation of leaders.

Originally founded as the Organization of Chinese Americans in 1973, OCA rebranded to OCA – Asian Pacific American Advocates in 2013 in order to reflect its pan-AAPI mission and the changing demographics of its membership. OCA continues to recognize the need for its civil rights work to be inclusive of all Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.
