Education
Teaching materials, internships, and scholarships that build understanding of Arab history, culture, and civil rights — and open doors for the next generation.
ADCRI Education
Education in the service of understanding
Arab Americans, Muslims, and South Asians were among the secondary victims of the attacks on September 11th. In the weeks that followed, hate crimes, discrimination, and public hostility became commonplace.
ADCRI's education work grew from that moment: a commitment to teach accurately about Arab culture, history, and religion, and to give schools the tools to serve Arab American students fairly.
Through "Reaching the Teachers," we evaluate multicultural school programs and equip educators to teach Arab history and culture with accuracy and care.
