Mission
The Asian Pacific American Legal Resource Center (APALRC) is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the legal and civil rights of Asian Americans in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan community through direct services, education, and advocacy. Through its innovative programs and strategic partnerships, the APALRC’s main goals are two-fold: (1) to address the individual legal needs of low-income and limited-English proficient Asian Americans, and (2) to advocate for broad-based systemic change on civil rights issues impacting Asian Americans.

Current Projects
Within the six years since it was founded, the APALRC has launched and established several direct service projects, including a multi-lingual legal referral hotline, a legal interpreter project, a worker representation project, and a legal assistance project for victims of domestic violence. In 2002, the APALRC expanded into civil rights advocacy with its involvement on the issue of language access.
