Ethnic Support Council is a grassroots organization established in 1989 to work toward meeting the needs of our growing, diverse community.


About ESC


Ethnic Support Council was formed in 1989 when compassionate community members witnessed the challenges Vietnamese and Cambodian refugee families faced while trying to adjust to life in the community. Services were established to assist refugees with education, social services and employment. Today, the ESC celebrates the success of past clients and families while continuing to serve the diverse population, many from the Latino community and most recently migrants from the Pacific Islands.
