MENA Community Center is a non-profit organization that provides the historically underserved Middle East and North African community in the Chicagoland area with vital services, benefits and programs aimed to further their social, economic and emotional wellbeing and help integrate them into the broader society. While our non-profit organization focuses on historically underserved MENA community, our doors are open to all who need our services, regardless of background. We have Arabic and Spanish speaking volunteers to assist our diverse clientele. Also, our board of directors are four women from Middle Eastern and Latino backgrounds. The Executive Director, Najwa Abuali, has 13+ years of experience in the nonprofit world, specifically in providing social and economic assistance to underserved immigrant and refugee communities.
MENA provides numerous services, including but not limited to assisting clients with gaining free or subsidized internet, utilities, healthcare, transportation for seniors and low-income individuals. We have programs that prevent or end homelessness, including rental and utility assistance as well as permanent supportive housing. We are already assisting dozens of people who are walking through our (new) doors seeking assistance with employment by reviewing and revising their resumes, matching them with jobs through our community networks, and referring them to jobs outside our direct networks. We are tackling significant obstacles to services that have historically been faced by MENA communities by providing translation services to those who are not native English speakers. We are building the infrastructure for our upcoming programs.
MENA Community Center does not discriminate against any person on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, or age.We firmly work towards providing equal opportunities, mutual respect and out standing services to all.
