AICC serves as a resource hub to help African immigrants access the resources they need and to encourage participation in programs and services. In addition, AICC serves as an information and referral center for African immigrants to connect to government agencies and community-based organizations to address their concerns, which range from application assistance, guidance on benefits eligibility, immigration to discrimination and social welfare.

We serve as vocal advocates representing the perspectives and needs of immigrant communities at the city, state and federal level for increased resources, services and legislative protections.

Youth are engaged in job shadowing where they are matched to follow and observe a trained and experienced employee to gain comprehensive knowledge about what the employee who holds a particular job, they are interested in does every day. AICC works with several organizations in the Bronx to provide this training to high school and college students.

AICC provides food security direct services (e.g., food pantry, mutual aid) to alleviate the food insecurity impacting a growing number of families in the communities we serve.

English as a Second Language (ESL) classes for immigrants, new migrants, and asylum seekers provide essential language skills to help them integrate into their new communities. 

The college and career readiness program for youth equip students with the skills, knowledge, and resources needed to successfully transition into higher education and the workforce. The program focuses on academic achievement, career exploration, and essential life skills such as time management, problem-solving, and effective communication.
