Books 4 Cultural Competence

​​Our mission

Books 4 Cultural Competence (B4CC) aims to improve k-12 community (students, teachers, parents and other stakeholders) cultural competence by strengthening self-awareness, awareness of others, cultural knowledge, and cross-cultural skills.
Our team

As part of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month (May 1-31) in 2021, Books 4 Cultural Competence (B4CC) is advocating for the public to join us in the efforts to promote increased awareness of Asian American culture, history and their contributions to our communities and country by donating book titles from our carefully curated booklist to K-12 classrooms and libraries across the state of Washington.
