We strive for a socially just society where all immigrants can fully partake as Americans. We pursue our vision across all priority areas and we structure our activities around impact and outcomes.
The Arab-American Family Support Center (AAFSC) is a non-profit, non-sectarian organization established in 1994 to provide culturally and linguistically competent, trauma-informed, multigenerational social services to immigrants and refugees. Our theory of change identifies the family as a key focal point, so we offer integrated, holistic services across generations and at all stages of the immigration journey to encourage healthy paths to success and fulfillment.
We support anyone who walks through our doors. Over our 30 years of experience, we have developed expertise serving immigrants, refugees, and underserved communities drawing on our staff that speaks over 30 languages.
