Key Achievements of the Filipino Community

Pioneering Cultural Connection

The Filipino Community has been instrumental in bridging Juneau’s Filipino community and the local community. From lively cultural performances to hosting community events, our efforts have significantly increased cultural awareness and cross-cultural connection in Juneau.

Support for New Immigrants

The Filipino Community has long served as a welcoming hub for newly immigrated Filipino families. By providing a supportive environment and resources, we help new members connect with the Filipino community and ease their transition to Juneau.

Community Feeding Programs

Ensuring that community and FilCom members are always fed has been a longstanding effort of the Filipino Community. We not only address food insecurity but also strengthen communal bonds through shared meals and gatherings

Legislative Advocacy

The Filipino Community has played a key role in advocating for and passing legislation that benefits the Filipino population in Juneau and Alaska at large. Our efforts have, for example, led to the recognition of significant Filipino figures and the dedication of spaces in their honor.

Founding by Alaska Native Women

Our community was largely started by Alaska Native women with Mestizo children, a significant chapter in the Filipino Community’s history. Their work and dedication laid the foundation for and continued to support a thriving community space.

Cultural and Historical Recognition

Through our events and advocacy, we have dedicated spaces to Filipino heroes and brought Filipino culture to the forefront of the Juneau community. This recognition honors our history and the contributions of Filipino individuals to our community and the broader society.

Family

The Filipino Community was built and largely started by Alaska Native women who had Mestizo kids. It has since continued to serve as a place for newly immigrated families to connect with the large Filipino community in Juneau.
