من نحن
A nonprofit serving Algerian families in New England.
AACA Boston is a 501(c)(3) cultural association celebrating Algerian heritage and building community across Massachusetts and beyond.
Our story
AACA Boston was born from kitchen-table conversations among Algerian families in Massachusetts who wanted to give their children a place to feel at home in both worlds. What began as informal Sunday couscous gatherings grew into a recognized cultural association.
Today we host independence-day celebrations, run weekend Arabic classes, organize youth programs, and offer mentorship and mutual-aid networks, a community of families, students, professionals, and elders united by the same roots.
Our mission
To celebrate Algerian heritage and serve the Algerian-American community across New England through cultural events, educational programs, and mutual support, while building bridges with our neighbors.
How we operate
AACA Boston is governed by a volunteer board and run by three committees focused on Education, Extracurriculars, and Community Support. Membership dues, donations, and grants fund our programs. Annual reports are published each January.
