Mission Statement
CE is a community-based non-profit organization dedicated to promoting a better understanding of Chinese culture by offering cultural learning opportunities to schools and other institutions alike.
About This Cause
On a rainy Seattle night 16 years ago, a group of highly motivated parents got together to discuss how to improve our school teachers' understanding of Chinese culture, not only to help teachers better engage their Chinese and Chinese-American students, but also to help them share such insights with children and parents of all cultural backgrounds. That led to 16 years of CE Tours which have sponsored 56 teachers to tour Greater China, involving many donors, volunteers (in the U.S., Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Mainland China), and host families -- all leading to a great experience for the teachers who have in turn shared with their students/colleagues. Fast forward 8 years, many of the same volunteers started an event to help make learning Chinese fun. The annual Chinese Language & Talent Competition has averaged 400-500 students (representing many cultural origins) supported by 100+ volunteers, each year. This has been made possible with the great co-sponsorship with CLTA-WA (Chinese Language Teachers Association - Washington), the Confucius Institute of the State of Washington, and Chief Sealth International High School. We have all enjoyed the vibrant, fun, and inspiring performances and competitions. The CE community has delivered great value to the Seattle community, while rewarding each and every donor and volunteer with a heart-warming experience.
