The Eritrean Cultural Community and Civic Center provides a variety of services to refugees, including language classes, job training, and assistance with navigating the legal system. They also organize cultural events and celebrations that help refugees maintain a connection to their heritage while adjusting to life in a new country.

Most importantly, the organization provides a sense of community and support to refugees who may be feeling isolated and overwhelmed. By connecting newly arrived refugees with those who have already made the transition, the Eritrean Cultural Community and Civic Center provides a valuable resource to those who are seeking to build a new life in Michigan.

Community: Fostering a sense of belonging and connection among Eritrean Americans, and creating opportunities for people to come together to celebrate their culture, share their stories, and build support.

Empowerment: We empower Eritrean Americans to take an active role in shaping their own lives and communities, and to build the skills and knowledge they need to succeed. This involves offering educational programs, mentorship opportunities, and leadership development initiatives.

Inclusivity: Inclusivity allows servicing a diverse community like the Eritrean American diaspora. This means creating a welcoming and inclusive environment that recognizes and celebrates the diversity of experiences and perspectives within the community, and actively works to include and uplift voices that are often marginalized.

Advocacy: Together we advocate for the needs and interests of Eritrean Americans, both within the diaspora community and in the wider society. This involves speaking out on issues that affect Eritrean Americans, engaging with policymakers and other stakeholders to advocate for change.
