Afghan American Community Organization

In 2014, eight Afghan-Americans pioneered what the diaspora lacked for years – a safe space for candid discussions about the issues most pertinent to us. Historically, our community came together almost exclusively in social settings, including weddings, concerts, picnics, and sporting events. In 2019, the organization once known as AAC transitioned to the Afghan-American Community Organization (AACO), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, dedicated to advancing the Afghan-American community through education and outreach, and promoting civic and social engagement through the annual conference and beyond.
