Southeast Asian Coalition

seac is a grassroots-run/grassroots-focused social justice effort, serving high-need communities in north carolina. as a small team we aim to depart from silos present in the culture of non-profits, and to integrate each staff member into one interconnected and cohesive team. as a start-up organization each position is guided by the principle of “building onto and bettering” what has been formerly done at seac. we believe this customizes our programs and keeps us dynamic and accountable to our base. in addition each team member has a key role in making decisions for the organization and is expected to contribute to the health and longevity of our team and movement. program areas at seac include: youth organizing, base-building/civic engagement, movement building/advocacy, and select services. also known as the “village”, seac was established in 2011 to create a voice that addresses the needs of the southeast asian population in mecklenburg county and surrounding areas in north carolina
