A BIT ABOUT US
Our Beginnings...
The Cambodian Legacy Project (CLP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in April 2025 by Kaovny Jonas and Kim Lam, both immigrants and children of refugees. Our mission is to address the critical need for cultural preservation education and community support within Cambodian and broader Asian American communities. Starting as a grassroots initiative, CLP has rapidly evolved into a multi-program organization dedicated to serving youth, families, and elders through culturally responsive initiatives.
