The Arab-American Family Support Center (AAFSC) is a 501(c)3 non-profit, non-sectarian organization. Established in 1994, AAFSC is the first and largest Arabic-speaking, trauma-informed social service agency in New York City. As a settlement house and member of United Neighborhood Houses, AAFSC has taken the initiative in providing culturally and linguistically competent services to members of Arab, Middle-Eastern, Muslim and South Asian (AMEMSA) immigrant communities throughout the five boroughs in 13 languages. AAFSC is the only settlement house in the country to specialize in serving the AMEMSA communities. We serve over 6,000 low-income people each year through six main programs: the Preventive Services Program, Adult Education and Literacy Program, Youth Program, Legal Services Program, Health Program and Anti-Violence Program.Our mission is to empower new immigrants with the tools they need to successfully acclimate to the world around them and become active participants in their communities.
