Organization Details

The Center is non-sectarian and staffed by Arabic-speaking professionals of all faiths who are sensitive to the religious, cultural and language needs of families of Arabic-speaking backgrounds. By directing our activities toward newly arrived Arab immigrants, and by addressing the destabilizing effects of immigration, we seek to guide Arabic-speaking newcomers through American laws and cultural norms in order to help them gain their full rights as citizens.

We offer immigration and other legal services, health services, youth programs, homework tutoring, ESL and Arabic language classes, civics classes, anti-domestic violence programs, among others.

Funding for the Center comes primarily from the City's Administration for Children's Services (ACS) and the NYC Department of Youth & Community Development (DYCD), as well as private foundations and individual donors who are seeking to help strengthen the Arab- American community.

As you may well guess, centers like ours are a necessity in the current hostile climate against Arabs in our country - one of the Center's main goals is to help acculturate and assimilate Arab immigrants into the community to help them better adjust to this reality.

All contributions are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by state and federal law.
