Additional details

What we have in place
- We currently have an employee policies manual, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have recommendations for updated policies, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,430 , allowing us to Use the saved funds to support our year-round youth and immigrant services who meet weekly and always welcome food at their gatherings.
Filipino Advocates for Justice has experienced growth in staff, budget and programs in the last 3-5 years including contracting with Alameda County to provide human services. The employee policies/manual needs to be reviewed to be in compliance with County requirements.
Project plan
Our mission
In the spirit of Bayanihan, the vision of Filipino Advocates for Justice is to foster a Filipino community with the power to advance social and economic justice, and to realize democratic and human rights for everyone.
Our mission is to build a strong and empowered Filipino community by organizing constituents, developing leaders, providing services, and advocating for policies that promote social and economic justice and equity for all.
What we do
Filipino Advocates for Justice, formerly Filipinos for Affirmative Action, was established in 1973 in response to the discrimination and alienation faced by the influx of immigrant newcomers from the Philippines. Our work is grounded in the spirit of Bayanihan (people helping people). Over the years we have been an advocate for immigrant and civil rights for the Filipino community and served the more vulnerable in our community by helping recent arrivals, youth and low wage workers navigate the challenges and hurdles of life in the US. Today, Filipino Advocates for Justice uses a comprehensive approach to strengthening the Filipino community, implementing four main strategies: 1) civic engagement and advocacy; 2) leadership development; 3) capacity building for community organizations; and 4) direct services.
