- Serve the Association of Filipino Workers
The Association of Filipino Workers was founded on September 15, 2000
on the premise that Filipinos in the Los Angeles found the need to unite
to address their problems and to have a voice in the community. AFW
is a membership-based entity that holds its meetings every last Friday
of every month at PWC. The staff and volunteers of PWC serve the needs
of the AFW whether it be immigration problems, health problems, or employment
needs. By addressing the basic needs or major problems of the AFW, our
fellow Filipinos can live in dignity.
