The Asian Association of Utah (AAU) was founded in 1977 to advocate equality for Utah's Asian Americans in areas of immigration, education, employment, housing, social adjustment, and all other socioeconomic concerns of the community. In 1977, 3 staff members and a single funding source started the agency. Over the past 25 years, the agency has grown to have 25 staff members and over 50 contract workers.
While serving the communities of Cambodian, Chinese, Japanese, Laotian, Korean, Philippine, Thai and Vietnamese, the needs of the Pacific Islander people increased. In 1992 the board of directors invited Polynesian group to join AAU. Tongan and later Samoan organizations responded to join our organization.
AAU has been providing direct services to assist Asians and Pacific Islanders in community integration while retaining cultural identity. Services are funded from public and private sources and are provided by bilingual staff. Current programs serve approximately 1,200 clients/students a year. We are licensed by the State of Utah to provide counseling in Substance Abuse, mental health, as well as domestic violence.
