  • Outline of ideal board structure and opportunities for new roles
  • Candidate evaluation guide for prospective board members
  • Marketing tools and guidance on how to execute recruitment
  • Note: This project does not include actual board recruitment on the part of the Professional
What we have in place
  • We currently have dedicated staff members who liaise with the board, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have board meeting notes and accompanying documents, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $11,395 , allowing us to dedicate our resources to direct services.

AAFSC is at exciting growth point in our evolution as an organization. We are actively seeking opportunities to expand our board to amplify the work we are doing across New York City, and as a result, we are in need of support as we develop a board recruitment plan. Our goal is to expand our board from 7 members to 13 members.

Our mission

The Arab-American Family Support Center empowers new immigrants with the tools they need to successfully acclimate to the world around them and become active participants in their communities

What we do

The Arab-American Family Support Center (AAFSC) is a non-profit, non-sectarian organization established in 1994 to provide culturally and linguistically competent, trauma-informed social services. Across our eight locations, we empower immigrants and refugees with the tools they need to successfully acclimate to the world around them and become active participants in the community. While we support anyone who walks through our doors, over nearly 25 years, we have developed expertise in serving the Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, and South Asian (AMEMSA) immigrant and refugee communities.

AAFSC works across four priority areas--Promote, Get Ready, Prevent, and Communicate--to achieve our ultimate goal of strengthening families. AAFSC promotes mental and physical wellbeing, food security, healthy relationships, and family reunification. We get our families ready to succeed, work, and lead productive lives. We prevent domestic violence, child abuse, and neglect by counseling families, offering case management services to victims of violence, and cultivating healthy relationship skills in young people. Finally, AAFSC communicates the needs of the marginalized, amplifying their voices for increased impact.
