- Promote scientific understanding of issues on multicultural psychology to advance the lives of children and families.
- Promote and advance educational and training opportunities for SCCAP members identifying from diverse backgrounds.
- Develop and promote initiatives on psychological science and practice to advance the welfare of a diverse society.
