ADOPT uses a community-based participatory research framework. To date, the project has connected with over 40 organizations that serve Asians (and others) as well as a wide range of stakeholders in service of its mission. By working with these stakeholders, including family members, local officials, nonprofits and faith-based organizations, we have been able to compile a directory of resources to benefit the Asian and other communities.
Testimonial Heading link
“ADOPT has really been instrumental in helping our program. They’ve really provided a lot of advocacy on behalf of us towards the Division of Rehabilitation Services and other agencies in the community. They really have been great in linking us all together and allowing us to collaborate. And we really couldn’t have really had this program without them.”
