About the AACC
Who We Are
The Arab American Cultural Center (AACC) of Silicon Valley, is a fledgling organization founded in 1989 to serve the needs of the expanding Arab American Community in the South Bay Area. An estimated 30,000 Arab Americans currently reside in the greater San Jose area. These include both native-born Arab Americans and recent immigrants who arrive almost daily in the South Bay, to study, live, work, and join their families. The center became a non-profit organization in 1996 under the umbrella of Arab American Congress Organization. The AACC of Silicon Valley became an independent entity in June 2004, retaining its 501 3c non-profit status.
Our Mission
The Arab American Cultural Center’s mission is to promote all different aspects of the Arabic culture and language to the community at large, and to organize and strengthen the Arab Americans through advocacy of civil rights and access to referral community services.
