Our Mission and Vision

Our mission is to unite, serve & empower the Turkish-American Community to succeed and contribute positively to civic society. Our vision is a vibrant Turkish-American community that is grounded in their rich culture, values, heritage and the world renown cuisine of Turkiye, and committed to positive impact globally for generations to come.

 

We aim to achieve our mission through:

  • The creation of the Turkish-American Community Center, "Turk Evi," in the Bay Area to host programming and events aimed at preserving the rich culture, values, heritage of Turkiye, alongside professional development and community enrichment events.
  • The organization of celebrations for holidays, milestones, traditions, and festivals for all members.
  • The creation of children's educational and cultural programs to establish and preserve Turkish cultural identity, teaching the Turkish culture and language, and building a library of Turkish books for all ages.
  • Support services such as referrals, resources, consular services in collaboration with the Turkish Consulate in Los Angeles.
  • The establishment of a Turkish Gastronomy Center to offer culinary experiences, cooking classes for all ages, culinary training workshops, and culinary exhibition displays, as well as organizing gourmet tours to Turkiye (coming soon!)

Santa Clara Turk Evi

The Santa Clara Turk Evi was established to enable and promote unity and social equity among the Turkish-Americans by providing a gathering place to engage in their cultural, social and professional experiences and pass them on to the next generations. 

Our Turk Evi is located at 3170 De La Cruz Blvd # 119, Santa Clara, CA 95054. Please reach out if you need directions or with any questions.

As an added benefit to the community, Turk Evi can be rented out to members for private events (for children & adults) 🎈, parties 🥳 , meetings 💼 and other gatherings 🤗. It is also a great way to support us beyond donations. We happy to provide professional assistance to ensure the success of your event. 🙌

Our Founders

Guided by the values, principles and ideals of the founder of modern day Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, Empowering The Turkish-American Community US (ETAC USA) was founded in 2018 by a dedicated group of Turkish Americans in the San Francisco Bay Area.

We are a group of optimists who believe in the power of collective action, the power of a  community center, and are dedicated to establishing an endowment fund for long-lasting generational impact.
