Our Mission
Cambodian Community Day (CCD) is a 501(c)(3) Charitable Organization established to promote, present and preserve our rich Cambodian culture. CCD seeks to integrate Khmer culture into American society to ensure the continuation of Cambodian cultural heritage, especially among Cambodian-American youths. We also work to strengthen Cambodian voice, empower Cambodian communities, bridge distances, heal rifts and build bonds among Khmers and other ethnic groups.
Our Vision
We seek to increase the awareness of Cambodian culture and heritage, to erase a bad perception about Cambodia as a killing field, to nurture young Cambodian-Americans Khmer values, pride, traditions, self-esteem, self-confidence, intelligence and compassion.
