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!)
