About us
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. We strengthen families through 4 key priority areas - Prevent Harm, Promote Well-Being, Prepare to Learn, and Pursue Solutions - and our work extends to communities globally. While we support anyone who walks through our doors, over our 27 years of experience, we have developed expertise serving the Arab, Middle Eastern, North African, Muslim, and South Asian (AMENAMSA) immigrant and refugee communities. Our staff speak 36 languages, including Arabic, Bengali, Farsi, Hindi, Nepali, Pashto, Punjabi, Urdu, and Wakhi. Our mission is to champion underserved individuals, including immigrants, by delivering culturally responsive services and uplifting community voices.

AAFSC’s own Salma joined CACF: Coalition for Asian American Children and Families’s Invisible No More Campaign because data is power. MENA communities in NYC are often categorized as “white” or “other,” erasing their unique challenges. The lack of data leaves them invisible in critical conversations about equity. Visibility matters.

Earlier this month, AAFSC joined coalition members led by Muslim Community Network & Shahana Hanif as Resolution 0095 was passed urging NYC schools to incorporate religious diversity education. With reports indicating a significant rise in religious bias incidents within our schools, the urgency for action has never been more pronounced. This milestone represents a commitment to fostering understanding, inclusion, and respect for all faiths among students.
