OUR PROGRAMS
Capacity Building
Our capacity building workshops and trainings aim to enrich attitude and skills to educate and develop the participants’ skills related to social, political, and cultural issues. Our Capacity Building program includes cultural-competency training catered to organizations, as well as providing workshops and info sessions on financial, legal, and health literacy.
Community Education
We believe education is the most important investment. Our Community Education program includes modules and sessions that aim to spread awareness and increase knowledge-building about health and social issues to promote and empower the participants with adequate information to become active citizens. We additionally provide language training that focus on everyday needs, including citizenship application and exam.
Resource Generation
Capitalizing on existing resources is not only efficient but helps build a stronger and interconnected community. Our Resource Generation program aims to provide access and knowledge to culturally-centered services and activities to promote wellbeing and help-seeking behaviors among the Arab community. The database acts as a community library that helps the Arab community find access to the resources they need.
Annual Health Fair
Through the annual health fair, our efforts are focused on providing access and education around social determinants of health to promote healthy living and health seeking. We aim to provide newcomers and Arab immigrants access to existing health resources and generate new ones. The fair annual event incorporates multiple activities that tackle health literacy, health expenditure, and capacity building.
Research
Our research goals include collecting data and information to further assess the needs of our community and stakeholders. The research program aims to engage in the co-creation of resources that builds capacity and serves as models for other communities. The program contains resources that are developed through our own think tanks and collaborative work, curating everything that is out there to support the Arab American community.
