About Us

Who We Are?

What Distinguishes Our Team

What truly sets our Iraqi American association apart, from our dedicated board members to our invaluable volunteers and essential partners, is our deep-rooted cultural understanding and shared lived experiences. Our team isn’t just a group of individuals providing services; we are a community that intrinsically understands the unique needs, challenges, and aspirations of Iraqi Americans. This inherent connection allows us to tailor our programs, from Arabic and Iraqi Dialect Classes to Women’s Empowerment Circles, with a level of nuance and authenticity that resonate profoundly with those we serve. Our board members bring strategic vision shaped by their own journeys, our volunteers offer empathetic support born from shared heritage, and our partners align with our mission because they recognize the genuine impact of our culturally informed approach.

This collective commitment to our community’s well-being is further distinguished by our holistic and integrated service model. We recognize that the needs of Iraqi Americans are multifaceted, encompassing everything from linguistic and cultural preservation to navigating new societal structures. Our team, whether leading Youth Leadership & Mentorship programs or providing critical Immigration Support, operates with a unified vision that addresses these diverse needs comprehensively. This seamless collaboration among all levels of our organization ensures that every service, every event, and every interaction is infused with a spirit of understanding, empowerment, and genuine care, making our association a true cornerstone for the Iraqi American community.
