The African Community Center for Educational & Social Services, now African Community Development Council was founded in 2002 in New Haven, Connecticut to welcome and provide variety of services to newcomers who have had to flee persecution within their home country. Many of our clients arrive in the United States with little but possess great hope about their lives in America. ACDC conducts educational and social service programs that help newcomers resettle in their new communities, recover from past trauma, gain personal independence and economic self-sufficiency, and quickly become active participants and productive, contributing members of American society. In addition, our agency works and coordinates with African community-based organizations across the United States to strength the networking and developing leadership capacity to better serve our respective communities. Our community outreach program (COP) also promotes awareness about refugee/asylum/legal immigrant issues and the challenges faced by newcomers as they move through the resettlement and cultural adjustment process. ACDC engages African immigrants and members of the wider community to enhance cross-cultural communication.
