NYC Department for Education: Through theater that fosters creative expression, discipline, collaboration, self-awareness and personal transformation, students of diverse backgrounds and abilities channel their energies into inspired artistic endeavors. Students engaged in Theater Making learn to respect differing perspectives while valuing the literary, oral, cultural traditions of societies. They learn multiple ways to express themselves, cultivate identity and develop empathy for others’ circumstances. Teaching and learning in theater develop confident learners, better prepared to participate actively in their education and contribute to their community.

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 and our work extends to communities globally.

All our priority areas – Prevent, Get Ready, Promote, and Communicate are interlinked. Our theory of change identifies the family as a key focal point, so we offer integrated, holistic services across generations and at all stages of the immigration journey to encourage healthy paths to success and fulfillment.

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.

It continues to spearhead the revitalization of the city’s birthplace inspired by an ethos of environmental stewardship, historical authenticity, design excellence, innovative education, and openness to all.
