Our Work | InterGrowth

InterGrowth Center

The InterGrowth Center will be dedicated to promoting the well-being of Chinese families primarily in Rockland County, NY through community development and social advocacy. By providing culturally relevant resources, education, and emotional encouragement, we will empower families to cultivate holistic wellness, preserve traditions, and build strong intergenerational relationships. Through wellness programs, parenting support, and cultural education, we strengthen cultural roots and foster self-confidence, ensuring that families thrive together. As a vibrant community hub, we will create opportunities for connection, social belonging, and cross-cultural understanding, contributing to a more inclusive and harmonious community.

TCM Medicinal Kitchen

Join us for online classes, cooking demos, and farm trips to experience the journey from seed to plate.

Chinese Book Club and Library

InterGrowth Foundation is launching a Chinese Book Club and Community Library to provide accessible cultural and educational resources for families interested in Chinese language, literature, and traditional wisdom. This project goes beyond our regular wellness programming by creating a dedicated space for intergenerational learning, language preservation, and community dialogue through books. The book club will host monthly in-person gatherings where participants read and discuss works of classical and contemporary Chinese literature, bilingual storybooks, and writings related to Traditional Chinese Medicine, philosophy, and seasonal living. Each session will include guided discussion, cultural context, and themed activities such as calligraphy, poetry appreciation, or herbal tea tasting. The community library will house a curated collection of Chinese books for adults and children, available for free borrowing. We will also offer reading hours for kids and workshops on Chinese characters and storytelling traditions. This project expands our impact by creating a long-term educational resource center that promotes cultural pride, literacy, and connection among Chinese-speaking families and the wider community. It reflects our commitment to preserving heritage while cultivating curiosity and dialogue in a welcoming, inclusive setting.
