Samoan Community Development Center

Samoan Community Development Center (SCDC) was founded in 1991 in San Francisco, CA as a 501c 3. SCDC was originally developed to fill the needs of the Samoan community and Pacific Islanders alike, who migrated to the United States. In time, the needs of our Pacific Islanders became greater, calling for more services. SCDC is the only funded organization in San Francisco that serves Samoans and other Pacific Islanders. The San Francisco Bay Area has a population of 82,576 Native and SCDC serves 1,500 of these NHPIs annually. SCDC is also based geographically where a high population of NHPIs reside; however, we offer services to NHPIs from across the Bay Area. Over the past 25 years, SCDC has built programs for youth K through College, families, case management, summer cultural programs, mental health promotion, breast cancer education and awareness, and re-entry.
