QARI

Happy Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month from QARI! QARI was formed by community leaders in Quincy, MA in 2001 to fill the gap in linking the local Asian community with vital information and services. Over the past two decades, we have grown to serve Asian immigrant communities across Massachusetts and New York with a wide range of culturally and linguistically competent programs including: - Multilingual resource navigation & referrals - Community classes (Tai-chi, Chinese Painting) - Adult education programs - Workforce development programs - Youth development programs - Environmental initiatives - Health equity programs - Outpatient mental health clinic - Cultural festivals We are proud to constantly be innovating and growing, finding new ways to help improve the lives of those we serve. A big thank you to our partners and all others who are working hard to support the AAPI community! #CelebrateDiversity #AAPIHeritage #AAPI #AsianAmerican #PacificIslander #AsianCommunity #ImmigrantCommunity #AsianCulture #AsianHeritage #AAPIHeritageMonth

🌍 Happy Earth Day from QARI! Reflecting on a year of impact, we are excited to highlight our environmental initiatives that have started to build and inspire positive change for our planet. Over the past two years, we have made significant strides in clean transportation outreach and education. Our collaboration with Green Energy Consumers Alliance allowed us to bring EV 101 webinars and exciting test drive events to our community, where local residents experienced electric vehicles firsthand. Another highlight of our efforts has been promoting sustainable energy solutions. Through partnerships with Mass Save local partners, we hosted informative webinars that empowered households with cost-saving energy efficiency solutions.
