About the author
The nonprofit ACCESS was founded in 1971 as Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services in Detroit. Its original mission was assisting Arab immigrants to adapt to life in the United States. Nearly half a century later, ACCESS is the largest Arab American human services nonprofit in the United States. With eight locations and more than 100 programs, ACCESS offers a wide range of social, economic, health and educational services to a diverse population. While continuing to focus on southeast Michigan, ACCESS programs now connect with networks nationwide.
