ACCESS: ability to enter, approach, communicate with, pass to and from, or make use of.

American Chinese Christian Educational and Social Services, Inc.
(ACCESS) is a non-profit, non-denominational Christian outreach community service agency created to serve Chinese families in and around Boston with a holistic Christian approach. We strive to help bridge generation and culture gaps within families, believing that health and reconciliation are possible through Christ. We also hope to further the understanding of both the American and Chinese cultures for each generation and to encourage access to this multi-cultural society and to each other within the family.
