Overview
The African Community Center operates a Reception and Placement program for Refugees through ECDC, the Ethiopian Community Development Council. While ECDC was initially created to meet the needs of a growing Ethiopian community, our refugee resettlement program has served clients from all over the world. The African Community Center of DC Metro (ACC) accepts refugees who have fled persecution in their home countries and have received resettlement in the US. ACC-DC conducts educational and social service programs that help newcomers rebuild their lives in their new communities, navigate US systems and cultures, recover from past trauma, gain personal independence and economic self-sufficiency, and become able, productive, and contributing members of society.
