The Southeast Asian Youth Development Center exists to eliminate the social, economic and equality gap affecting the Southeast Asian American community. We help former refugees, immigrants, and their children from Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam by lifting them out of poverty and improving their quality of life.

tools for success
To find success, each and every person needs support. We provide social and culture guidance, jobs, academic assistance, and language services. We work tirelessly to strengthen family relationships and promote youth leadership.
Respect. Cultural Pride. Integrity. Compassion.
We have grown from a one-room office that provided translation services, English as a Second Language, and vocational classes, into a locally and nationally recognized multi-service center. We proudly serve all youth, of all backgrounds, throughout San Francisco.
Coronavirus Testing
SEADC staff will be on site at the testing center to translate for community members getting a COVID-19 test. We will have staff to translate in the following languages: Cambodian, Lao, Thai and Vietnamese. No appointment necessary. We will help you register for your free test on the same day.
help us reach our full potential
When we say that you can truly make a difference in a youth’s life, it’s not just words. Our programs, resources, and staff are transforming circumstances for real people, every day. Without your support, we couldn’t change the narrative for young, displaced, and vulnerable Southeast Asian community members. Your donation makes a huge impact.
