About
Yafa American Community Center (YACC) is a 501(c)3 organization created in 2015 when a group of Arab Americans from Yafa, South Yemen, in and around New York City, recognized a need for connection, recreation, education, and organization in the ever-growing and thriving Brooklyn community. Determined to meet that need, these champions established YACC. Thousands of NYC residents have gained access to community programs since our founding.
YACC offers a variety of programs and events at our Brooklyn facility including youth sports, cultural classes, festivals, civic education, immigration support, leadership courses, and more.
Additionally, we help members support family and friends living in Yemen and are currently establishing humanitarian projects abroad.
Our Mission
A collaborative community effort that addresses the educational, cultural, civic and wellness needs through support, preservation and meaningful relationships. In addition, to establish charitable projects locally and abroad.
Our Vision
Empowering community members to achieve success through independence.
