What we do
Education, celebration and practical support, all aimed at helping families keep their heritage and settle well in America.
Uzbek language, history and literature for children and adults, from Navoi’s poetry to everyday conversation. Each February 21 we mark International Mother Language Day, because a mother tongue carries a community’s culture, traditions and values to the next generation.
Guidance and a welcoming network for Afghan immigrants and refugees settling in Pennsylvania. Our team works in English, Dari and Uzbek, so families can ask for help in the language they are most comfortable with.
Workshops and leadership programs that build confidence, skills and a strong sense of identity, with a dedicated Head of Women’s Affairs on our Board who works with refugee women and supports their empowerment.
We honor figures such as Amir Timur, Alisher Navoi and Babur, and gather each year for Eid and for the National Day of the Uzbek Language, with traditional dress, music and shared celebration. Our family gathering events bring parents, children and neighbors together for food, music and time with one another.
