| Abstract: |
The Japanese American Social Services, Inc. (JASSI) was formed in 1981 by Midori Shimanouchi
Lederer to address the lack of social services for aging Japanese Americans with limited
English language skills and little access to information about social service programs.
Currently the only professional social services agency for the Japanese community
on the East Coast, it provides information and referral services to a wide range of
Japanese Americans, including restaurant workers, students, recent immigrants, and
others in the New York area. This unprocessed collection contains administrative materials,
including minutes, correspondence, grant applications and employee files as well as
financial information such as budgets, audits and payroll information. Also included
are materials on services, workshops and events sponsored by JASSI, including client
files, intake sheets and volunteer work records. Publicity materials, including brochures,
newsletters and press releases are also present. The collection also includes photographs
and scrapbooks documenting JASSI events and services.
