The Conejo Chinese Cultural Association (CCCA) was established as a non-profit organization in 1980. The CCCA was specifically created to:
- Organize and sponsor educational, cultural, and recreational activities.
- Provide selected social services to its members.
- Provide sustained instruction and training to its members in the Chinese language, history, and culture.
- Promote, participate, and represent the local Chinese-American community in cultural exchanges and civic activities.
Since 2003, CCCA has sponsored many programs. Such programs include the CCCA Journal, the Chinese New Year Performance, camping trips, hiking trips, carnivals, sports tournaments, lectures, exhibitions, ski trips, and senior citizen services.
Thousand Oaks Chinese School (TOCS) was founded in 1975 and is now an affiliate of CCCA. TOCS has since grown to 500 students with more than fifty teaching staff. TOCS's goal is to provide the best resources and opportunities for all people interested in learning the Chinese language, history, and culture. Aside from classroom learning, the students also participate in calligraphy contests, drawing contests, Chinese Jeopardy, speech/poem recitals, annual track and field meets, and summer camp.
