Founded in 1985, Mabuhay, Inc. was created to respond to a vital need within the Filipino American community: a place of support, connection, and shared understanding. We serve as a network of individuals, families, and friends who navigate the experiences of assimilation into American society while honoring Filipino heritage.
Our community brings together those facing common challenges and joys – interracial and intercultural families, raising biracial children, and sustaining meaningful ties to the Philippines. Through fellowship, advocacy, and service, Mabuhay, Inc. fosters belonging, resilience, and cultural pride across generations.
