Civic Engagement

We regularly hold events and speaking engagements to inform community members about the events, economic needs, and humanitarian issues affecting Yemen.
In addition to these events, we host workshops that assist members in accessing voter registration and resources, encouraging the community to participate in elections.

Adult Education

YACC provides academic and professional development support both locally and overseas. Our offerings include academic tutoring and mentorship for the youth.  Other established programs include college application support, resume-building, career readiness, job acquisition workshops, financial literacy seminars for all.  Many young adults enjoy our book clubs and art workshops which encourages early community engagement.
​We also plan to offer Arabic language and ESL classes for those who would like to improve their Arabic or English.  

  

Legal Services

We connect our community members with an attorney who can help them with the extensive and complex immigration process. This attorney also provides workshops on the rights of US citizens, how to handle being stopped by the police, and other topics that answer many of the legal questions new members may have.

Cultural Classes

We provide classes on Yafa history, lessons in traditional dance, and other workshops that celebrate Yafa culture. We believe that preserving culture means passing it down to the younger generations. Children attend many cultural events and classes, including our twice-yearly Eid festivals.
