Description
Excerpted from the website:
- What is the African Community Center? The African Community Center of Denver is a Program office of the Ethiopian Community Development Council Inc. (ECDC), a community based Organization headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. ECDC is a 501 (c) (3), non profit organization. The African Community Center is Denver's newest Refugee Resettlement program which welcomes newcomers who have had to flee persecution within their home country. Many of our clients arrive in the United States with little but possess great hope about their lives in America. The African Community center conducts educational and social service programs that help newcomers resettle in their new communities and acculturate, recover from past trauma, gain personal independence and economic self-sufficiency, and quickly become able participants and productive, contributing members of American society. In addition, our agency works with African community-based organizations to provide technical assistance in developing the leadership capacity to serve their respective communities. Our community outreach also promotes awareness about refugee issues and the challenges faced by newcomers as they move through the resettlement and cultural adjustment process. The African Community Center engages newcomers and members of the wider community to enhance cross-cultural communication.
