Together we can achieve everything!
The Ethiopian Community Center’s (ECC) is a 501 (c)(3) community-based organization whose mission is to enhance the social and economic well-being of the African community in the Washington Metropolitan Area. Established in 1980, ECC has served as a vital community space for the last 39 years, providing a wide range of culturally and linguistically targeted programs and services.
As part of our community building efforts, we aim in creating a community space where the African community of DC and the larger Washington Metropolitan area can come together, give space for children to play with each other, share common interests, practices and values crossing geographic boundaries, strengthen social ties rooted in relationships that create and/or maintain an ongoing sense of cohesion; with the realization that a facilitated engagement of social complexities within communities can create an opportunity for a multiplicity of communities to see and learn from each other, co-exist and thrive.
