Mission

To enhance the quality of life for Taiwanese Americans in the US.

Our work is largely devoted to building an understanding of Taiwanese American heritage, encouraging pride in Taiwanese American identity, developing a strong Taiwanese American community, advocating around issues pertinent to Taiwanese Americans, and helping to contribute to our culture, ever richer in its diversity.

TACL's programs serve to benefit all ages and encourage LINC - leadership, identity, networking, and citizenship - in areas that Asian Americans lack adequate representation.

Signature programs include Taiwanese American Professionals (TAP), Political Internship (PIP), the Leadership Identity Development (LID) and Leading Youth Forward (LYF) Camps, and Junior Taiwanese American Students Association (JTASA).
