KASA is pleased to announce a new partnership with an organization that significantly expands our capacity to serve Kurdish families in a region where we have had limited presence. We are not yet at liberty to share all of the details publicly, but we can say that the partnership focuses on direct services — food access, navigation assistance, and community connection — for Kurdish Americans in a city where the community has grown quickly without corresponding organizational support.

Partnerships like this are how KASA grows responsibly. Expanding to a new city requires local knowledge and local trust that we cannot build from the outside on a short timeline. A partner organization that already has relationships in the community, and that understands both the practical needs and the cultural context, is a more effective vehicle for expansion than opening a new KASA office from scratch.

More details about the partnership and the programs it will enable will be shared in the coming months. If you are a Kurdish American in a city where KASA currently has limited presence and you are interested in being part of building something there, we want to hear from you.
