About CACEN

Colorado Asian Culture and Education Network (CACEN - pronounced "Kay-Sen") is a 501c3 organization founded in 2009. The organization’s mission is to elevate Colorado's Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities and address inequities through cultural exchange and education.

​

CACEN's programs and activities include to: promote Asian cultural education and awareness through community-designed activitie; build bridges of awareness, knowledge, and understanding between Colorado’s diverse Asian communities and the general public; enhance cultural exchange through hosting and organizing social and educational activities, including, but not limited to, language classes and cultural lessons on Asian traditions and lifestyle;  preserve cultural values and heritage through activities and programs which highlight, celebrate, share, and teach the virtues of the foundations of Asian cultures.

With the rise in anti-Asian hate during the pandemic,
AANHPIs are still healing and finding strength.
