CAA volunteers are organizing several community projects and initiatives in year 2018:

- CAA Youth Geek Squad: In this project, Chicago-area high school students will collect old computers, old monitors, keyboards, cords etc, re-assemble to new computers for donating to needed schools, churches, and other charity organizations. If you have old computer components that are ready to throw away, and donate, please contact info@caaus.org. We are hoping more communities, students will be joining us in this initiatives:
- Students lead all the activities, showing care and giving back to the society
- CAA will issue volunteer certificates, confirming activities and service hours
- Students gain technical skills working with computer hardware and computer software
- American All Kids Count Initiative: We are entering the fourth industrial revolution that will fundamentally alter the way we live, work, and relate to one another. In its scale, scope, and complexity, the transformation will be unlike anything humankind has experienced before. The revolution is technology-driven, characterizing with the names such as Artificial intelligence, Automation, Ubiquitous and mobile supercomputing, Intelligent robots, Self-driving cars, Neuro-technological brain enhancements, Genetic editing etc. The evidence of dramatic change is all around us and it’s happening at exponential speed. It’s beyond doubt that education is at the heart of preparing present and future generations to thrive. As a result it’s vital that we have an education that develops human potential and gets all of our kids prepared, no matter who they are, what their skin colors are, where they originally come from, where they live, what their genders are. Therefore, we are proposing American All Kids Count Initiative that would replace the AAPI (Asian American Pacific Islander) Data Disaggregation Initiative created by the Obama Administration in 2012, ensure all of the kids are ready for the changes in front of them.
- Chinese American Leadership Initiative: The initiative is to encourage and develop young leaders in the United States in the fields of public service and politics through a network of business and community leaders. Our goals are to have more elected Chinese American leaders sharing our values in various levels of America government system.
