Education Description

Founded in 1965, the Chinese-American Planning Council, Inc. (CPC) aims to promote the social and economic empowerment of Chinese American, immigrant, and low‑income communities. Today, CPC is the nation's largest Asian American social services agency and offers more than 50 programs at over 35 sites throughout New York City, including early childhood education, school‑age care, youth services, workforce development, community services, and senior services.

CPC strives to be the premier social service and leadership development organization. In 2017, CPC launched Advancing Our CommUNITY, its organization‑wide strategy to expand services to address persistent needs and emerging trends and to improve leadership skills among staff and community members. In 2022, our core programs and emergency services reached 200,000 people living in all five boroughs and all 51 city council districts.

In the summer of 2022, CPC was recognized as the number one Chinese American organization in New York City to recommend to a Chinese immigrant looking for in‑language and culturally competent resources according to a recent survey. This accomplishment is a testament to the incredible work and dedication of our staff. (For more information, please visit: https://(Use the "Apply for this Job" box below).)

Since 1998, CPC Adult Literacy Program has provided thousands of community members with free, high-quality English‑language instruction in a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment. Through the program, community members gain practical, everyday English skills that are critical to a better quality of life in New York City. Other program supports include community education workshops and citizenship test preparation.

The ESOL Instructors will teach in a fully remote classroom, with occasional in‑person attendance at events and trainings in our Manhattan office.
