About Japanese American Citizens League Las Vegas Chapter

The Las Vegas Chapter of the JACL has been in existence since 1968. It was originally named the "Japanese American Club" and became part of National JACL several years later. At one time we had approximately 200 local members here in the valley.

The Las Vegas JACL is doing it's part in helping to accomplish JACL's mission by initiating and participating in events such as the Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, Hawaiian Luau, Obon Festival, Mochitsuki, and Akimatsuri Festival. It also sponsors the Kaminari Taiko Group. JACL members come from all races and cultures - - Japanese ancestry is not required to become a member.

The Japanese American Citizens League is a national organization whose ongoing mission is to secure and maintain the civil rights of Japanese Americans and all others who are victimized by injustice and bigotry. The leaders and members of the JACL also work to promote cultural, educational and social values and preserve the heritage and legacy of the Japanese American community.
