About Us

The Joy Culture Foundation is a Bay Area nonprofit rooted in Chinese culture and community, dedicated to strengthening connection, identity, and belonging for immigrant families. We create culturally affirming spaces where children and families can engage with language, storytelling, and hands-on learning rooted in Chinese heritage.

Through our community library, youth creative labs, and weekly programs, we provide access to books, arts, STEM, and intergenerational experiences that help young people stay connected to their heritage while building confidence in who they are.

At the heart of our work is a simple belief: when children are seen, heard, and reflected in their culture, they thrive.

Our Mission

Provide educational, cultural programs and gathering spaces to help Chinese speaking families build confidence, identity, and community.

Our Vision

Bridge the cultural and social capital gap and be a Chinese cultural hub through childhood education in the SF Bay Area.
