Advocacy, Leadership and Education…

CLESE is committed to a vision of equal access to services for all elderly, regardless of ethnicity or language. As a coalition, CLESE works to increase awareness of the needs, rights, and unique contributions of limited-English-speaking elderly and the community-based organizations that serve them. CLESE promotes understanding, sensitivity, and insight into culturally diverse communities. CLESE is a resource to ethnic agencies by providing assistance and information. Many ethnic, community-based social service organizations can be reached by contacting CLESE.

CLESE builds collaborative partnerships with service providers, state and federal agencies, managed care organizations and the aging network.
