Great Wall Center, Inc. is a community based organization serving Asian American residents in Malden, Massachusetts, USA. It was created by members of the Malden Asian Pacific American Coalition, friends, faith and community leaders and incorporated as a 501c(3) tax exempt charitable organization. It was founded in response to the need to reduce risk of isolation and marginalization of Asian populations through broadly advocating for their inclusion and specifically providing essential and cultural competent social services for this growing Asian immigrant populations north of Boston. |
Great Wall Center is the first Asian oriented community based nonprofit agency in Malden/TriCity area that focuses on the overall well being and integration of the Asian/Asian American populations, which increased from 5% of the city's population in 1990 to 15% in 2000 according to the U.S. Census.
