The Arab-American Family Support Center is a non-profit organization that empowers new immigrants with the tools they need to successfully acclimate into the world around them and become active participants in their communities.
The Arab-American Family Support Center (AAFSC) provides comprehensive social services to Arab American immigrant families and children throughout New York City. Established in 1994, AAFSC addresses the unique needs of the Arab American community through a variety of programs, services and activities, including: English as a Second Language and literacy classes; citizenship courses; legal assistance; after-school, summer and weekend programs for children; violence prevention and intervention programs; and access to free or low-cost health care. In addition to these social services, AAFSC promotes a stronger and more united Arab American community and provides a strong voice for immigrants in city affairs.
AAFSC continues to improve and enhance the quality of services we provide to the Arab immigrant community. Most recently, AAFSC became the lead community partner of The Khalil Gibran International Academy, a New York City public International Baccalaureate public school that offers students a competitive, world-class education and the opportunity to enter college as sophomores with a diploma that is recognized and accepted internationally.
