The Arab American Association of New York

The Arab American Association of New York is a comprehensive non-profit organization dedicated to serving the social and economic needs of Arab American and Arab immigrant communities throughout Brooklyn, NY and surrounding neighborhoods. Since its establishment in December 2001, AAANY has provided invaluable social services to tens of thousands of families, working tirelessly to empower, defend, and advocate for New York's Arab American community. The organization specializes in culturally sensitive social services designed to help families adjust to their new home and achieve independence, productivity, and stability. AAANY serves as a critical bridge between the Arab community and the broader New York community, fostering greater understanding of Arab culture and immigrant issues while addressing discrimination and systemic barriers. The organization functions as a liaison between schools, government institutions, and community residents, ensuring that cultural competency and community-specific needs are at the forefront of service delivery. With nearly two decades of experience, AAANY has developed deep expertise in immigrant integration services, community advocacy, and culturally appropriate programming. The organization's mission centers on supporting and empowering Arab Americans and Arab immigrants by providing comprehensive services that facilitate their successful integration into American society while preserving cultural identity and dignity.
