Community Navigation
The Afghan Cultural Center of Idaho helps Afghan refugees settle into their new homes by encouraging them to get involved in their community. ACCI offers different programs and activities to teach Afghan refugees important skills and help them feel like they belong. The center also supports Afghan refugees in speaking up for their rights and participate in local decision making. By doing this, the center helps Afghan refugees and the community they now live in come close together and thrive towards building a better future.
Cultural/Community
We are a welcoming and supportive hub for Afghan refugees. We serve as a bridge between Afghan traditions and American society, offering a range of programs and services to meet the unique needs of the community. Our children’s choir participates in World Refugee Day Boise every June. By promoting cultural exchange and collaboration with the wider community, the center creates an inclusive environment where Afghan refugees can successfully rebuild their lives with dignity and resilience.

In adherence to Afghan cultural values, we recognize the significance of maintaining physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Through educational workshops, seminars, and interactive programs, we strive to raise awareness about essential health practices, nutrition, and disease prevention.

Together, we can build a healthier, happier future for all, inspired by the values of our Afghan heritage.
