Southeast Asian Development Center

What a night! 💛

Thank you to everyone who helped make SEADC’s 49th Anniversary Gala so special—from our staff and volunteers to our sponsors, performers and supporters.

Because of you, we can continue supporting Southeast Asian youth, families and elders throughout San Francisco.

Here are just a few moments from an unforgettable evening. ✨

Our community knows what our community needs. 💛

As we look ahead, we want to hear directly from Southeast Asian, Asian, and low-income families across San Francisco about what’s working, what’s missing, and where support is needed most.

Your feedback will help shape future programs so they stay rooted in real experiences and responsive to the people we serve.

The survey is anonymous, takes just a few minutes, and your input can help guide what comes next.

⏰ DEADLINE: This Friday

Please take a moment to share your voice. We’re listening.

A night like this doesn’t happen on its own.

It takes people who care. People who give. People who believe in what’s possible for our community.

We're incredibly grateful to the Title Sponsor for this year's gala!

A Khmer Buddhist Foundation (Cambodian Progress Fund) is helping us make this year’s event possible. And because of support like this, 1,000+ Southeast Asian community members will get access to education, mental health services, and pathways to opportunity every year.

This is what community looks like.

Now it’s our turn to show up.

A huge S/O to our newest grads from the Asian Youth Prevention Services – Environmental Prevention: Mobilizing for Change on Alcohol (and Other Drugs) cohort! 🎓✨

Over the past six months, 10 amazing youth built leadership skills, got real about substance use, and used storytelling as a tool for advocacy. Their final project? A powerful zine on va**ng and teen health—created by youth, for the community.

They presented their work to community members and thoughtfully engaged in dialogue around prevention and change. We’re proud of every single one of them.

Special thanks to our facilitators, Niet and Margarette, for their leadership.

And we're grateful to the Tenderloin Station officers for showing up, and to the San Francisco Police Community Foundation for supporting our grads. 🎉

This is more than a gala. It’s a celebration of who we are.

Join us for a night of music, dance and culture from across our Southeast Asian community:
🎸 Thai Cultural Center of Wat Mongkolratanaram
🧜‍♀️ Khmer Amathak Dance Troupe performing Sovan Macha
🎤 DJ Peter “ggpete” Quiambao Jr.

Come celebrate 49 years of community, culture and impact with us.

What does school success actually look like?

It looks like our youth showing up, getting their homework done, and building real confidence every single week. 💛

Right now, 100% of students in SEADC’s K–8 program are completing 90% of their homework—with support from bilingual staff who get them.

This kind of impact doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because of community.
