ROOTED LOCALLY. CONNECTED NATIONALLY.
CLC chapters grow from local communities — building relationships, creating programs, and bringing Chinese books and cultural experiences to children where they live.
Locally led. United by a shared mission.

START A CHAPTER
Bring Chinese Stories to Your Community
You don’t need to build an organization from day one. Start with a storytime, grow a local community, and we’ll support you along the way.
Start with a Storytime
Start small with a Chinese storytime in your community. CLC provides the funding and program support to help you get started.
Build a local Chapter
Once a committed local team and community are in place, we’ll help you establish a local nonprofit and become an official CLC chapter.
Grow Across Your Community
Expand beyond storytimes and bring the full range of CLC programs to your city—from Sprout Packs and cultural programs to community Chinese book collections and Chinese children’s book support for public libraries and schools.
