CSEBRI – Pioneer in Creativity and Exchange (Cultural Society) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of those in our community. We envision a learning environment without borders.
Our mission is to inspire curiosity for learning and to nurture the next generation of world citizens embracing diversity with health-conscious lifestyles.
Founded in 2011, we began with our Mandarin Chinese language program. We work closely with parents, stakeholders, and team members to foster a love of language and culture in each student. Our teaching skillfully weaves theory and the practical into language lessons. Students learn to connect the culture with the language and put it in practical communication use. Students are encouraged to think creatively, and to work both independently and cooperatively with others.
At Cultural Society, we celebrate diversity and strive to instill integrity, compassion, and confidence in each child and young professional. Our Culture & Heritage programs give each learner support and encouragement to become his or her own unique self.
As of the new school year of 2019-2020, we added a Health & Wellness Program as part of our mission. We hope:
1) To raise the awareness of our community about health. Our approach to improve health is to balance exercise and nutrition.
2) To provide classes to teach about exercise and nutrition. Our primary vehicle for this exercise program is yoga.
At the nearing the end of the pandemic, we updated our Health & Wellness initiative to reflect the following five tiers of focus. 1) Nutrition 2) Movement 3) Breathing (or Pranayama in Sanskrit) 4) Mental health 5) Graceful aging. Read the details of our design and philosophy here.
In the spring of 2020, the World was hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. When a crisis hits, that’s the moment that draws out the most from Cultural Society. We put our creativity to work and moved all of our classes online via the Zoom platform. We made the transition to online delivery while serving our existing clients and adhering to the new protocols imposed by the state’s enforced CDC guidelines. Cultural Society remains steadfast in serving our existing clients while going through a steep learning curve in the digital transformation process, and will always value safety first. Thus, we have begun to establish a community of learners without borders. We will continue to create and develop a lasting virtual community of learners everywhere.
Asian American Connection Initiative – Our New Initiative
As the pandemic wore on and unemployment continued to rise, we saw a dire need for helping people get back to work. Cultural Society again rose to the occasion and added a new initiative called Asian American Connection. Although we’re focusing on Asian-Americans first, membership is open to all Americans and all people who want to be part of it. Our goal is all-encompassing and we aim to include all Americans who have been affected by the pandemic. Please read about the update on this initiative here. We’re focusing on Asian-Americans first because that’s where our expertise lies. Through the connection aspect of this initiative with Asian-Americans and Americans at-large, we can bring out the best from both sides. When we put ourselves in the position of helping others and become selfless, that’s when we will see the better version of ourselves. Please consider becoming a member of the Asian American Connection (AAC). We have both Contributor and non-contributor memberships available.
