About Us

Engaging and empowering the local and global communities

through education, advocacies, and volunteerism.  

Our passionate, committed, and dedicated team of professional educators aspire to advocate, organize, and lead culturally relevant and responsive activities and programming that bring together the community to learn, grow, and celebrate one another. 

Our Story

Someone believed that we can do something great together as a community of educational leaders and gave her faith on us. Someone planted the good seed, believing that it will grow forever. Someone started the spark that became the flame which now serves like a lighthouse to many. This someone was our beginning as she gave birth to our association. From our birth to our growing years, we have been nurtured with genuine love. We have been taught to share generously our time, talent, and treasure to whoever needs it. This is the reason of SOFEA's existence. We exist to advocate and initiate programs that are culturally appropriate and responsive to the needs of our Filipino community while living and working in a multicultural society. We will forever carry the piece of this someone in every thing that we do for as long as we exist.  The next someone who  could be partnering with us in making a powerful impact to our community could be YOU.
