MOCA’s mission as an educational and cultural institution is to present and preserve the range of living history, heritage, culture, and experiences of Chinese Americans through exhibitions, educational services, public programs, and archival work. It began in 1980 as a grassroots effort with a team of students, community activists and historians to preserve the history of New York City’s Chinatown. The museum has since grown to be a leading cultural institution for the history of the Chinese in America and is recognized as one of 20 national institutions as America’s Cultural Treasures.

The mission statement of the agency reads, "Based on the teachings of Christ, Children's Foundation of Mid-America provides compassionate and therapeutic social, psychological and educational services to children and families of all faiths." In response to the needs of hurting children and their families, it is our intention to continue to be creative in serving the needs of children who have been neglected or abused, or who are at risk. Children's Foundation wants to enable each child to become a strong contributing member of our society.

Our Mission is to learn as much as possible about each individual student, provide them with the tools necessary to be successful in their career path chosen specifically for them by them. Read more: https://www.careeranalysis.org/mission/

TELSA has carved out two areas of action for its mission; one is long-term and the other is short term. Its area of action is India, particularly rural India. The long term goal is to promote the concept of a master plan approach to rural change whereby each village is encouraged to prepare a master plan for its overall development in order to address the long-term needs of its population in a holistic manner across all aspects of living: childhood development, literacy, education, human resource development,rural infrastructure development, industrial development, job creation, retirement and so on. The goal here is to reverse the trend of distress migrations to cities where rural populations end up in slums with all the concomitant problems of ill-health, crime and alienation. This goal is sought to be accomplished by carrying on campaigns amongst indian populations in villages, urban slums, academia and policy-formulation circles. For its short term goal TELSA strives to provide immediate help to poorer sections of the population in villages, especially in the area of children's education. The method chosen is to make school attendance a more attractive proposition to both children and parents in disadvantaged households. Children from poor households suffer from several disadvantages, such as first generation exposure to education, lack of access to existing schools due to lack of transportation, loss of income to families deprived of child labor earnings and so on. Besides, schools in villages lack basic infra-structure in terms of sanitation, drinking water, class room furniture, classroom supplies, teacher motivation etc. The help sought to be provided by TELSA attempts to address one or several of these deficits.
