Multicultural Community Centre 多元文化社區中心

11 Mar

The Multicultural Community Centre (MCC) was established in 1989 in Chinatown, to meet the needs of Brisbane’s culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) community in Brisbane Chinatown (Fortitude Valley) and the wider Brisbane community. MCC was formally incorporated in 1996 and operates as a charitable organisation (a public benevolent institution), primarily assisting migrants, refugees, the disadvantaged, the poor and the elderly. MCC is actively involved in combating any forms of racism and acts as an advocate and liaison body where government and non-government bodies are concerned. After purchasing and renovating new larger premises, MCC is able to actively promote multiculturalism and cultural maintenance of traditions, language, and customs on a bigger scale, through Festivals, Celebrations, Expos and Conferences. MCC has become the ‘northside’ multicultural ‘hub’ of Brisbane, as it is located in 23 Foster Street, Newmarket.

多元文化社区中心（MCC）于1989年在唐人街成立，旨在满足布里斯班唐人街（Fortitude Valley）和更广泛的布里斯班多元文化和语言（CALD）社区的需求。MCC于1996年正式注冊，是一个慈善组织（公共慈善机构），主要帮助移民、难民、弱势群体、穷人和长者。MCC积极参与对抗任何形式的种族主义，并在政府和非政府机构方面充当倡导者和联络机构。在购入和翻新新的大型场所后，MCC能够通过节日、庆典、博览会和会议，在更大范围内积极促进多元文化和传统、语言和习俗的文化维护。MCCMCC位於Newmarket 区Foster Street 23號的会所已成为布里斯班的“北区”多元文化“中心”。

Helping people is at the heart of what we do! We provide government funded programs to assist CALD (Culturally and Linguistically Diverse) people; as well as practical help, through the distribution of food parcels and other resources.

MCC’s key focus is its extensive free training and employment programs that target a range of career pathways, and Australian work experience, to help migrants integrate well into Australian society.

We give them skills to get accredited qualifications that lead to good jobs; as well as to also start up Small Businesses, thereby helping them access mainstream services provided by government and NGO agencies.

帮助人们是我们工作的核心！我们提供政府资助的计划来帮助 CALD（多元文化和語言）人群; 以及通过分发食品包和其他资源提供实际帮助。

MCC的重点是其广泛的免费培训和就业计划，这些计划针对一系列职业路径和澳大利亚工作经验，以帮助移民很好地融入澳大利亚社会。

我们为他们提供技能，以获得认可的资格，从而找到好工作; 以及创办小企业，从而帮助他们获得政府和非政府组织机构提供的主流服务。
