Chinese American Service League

The Chinese American Service League (CASL) is an all-inclusive non-profit agency with over 45 years of experience connecting families and individuals with the vital support they need: providing an educational and cultural foundation for children, ensuring seniors live full and independent lives with dignity, enhancing education and training for tomorrow's workforce, putting immigrants on the pathway to citizenship, securing our community's housing and financial well-being, navigating healthcare systems and wellness resources, and fighting for equal access to justice.

[1] Building on the wisdom of generations, CASL catalyzes the transformation of individuals, families, and the community for an equitable future.

Led by Bernie Wong, the group's first services for the Chinatown community included translating letters from English to Chinese, claiming tax rebates, and accessing public aid programs.

Since then, CASL has been the largest social service agency that serves AANHPI (Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander) and other minority communities in the Midwest.

Today CASL has expanded to more than 20 programs and services to meet community needs based on Social Drivers of Health (SDOH) data.
