AIC’s Mission
AIC is dedicated to building interfaith and interethnic understanding.
We believe American Muslims must take the lead in building tolerance and fostering a respect for human rights and social justice. We work to change the discourse within both the American Muslim community and in the broader American Society. AIC advocates for the American Muslim community, meeting with leaders on Capitol Hill and government agencies and collaborating with NGOs and campaigns.
AIC also works abroad, offering a diverse array of programs, events and initiatives across the Middle East and North Africa. With six offices in four countries and a full-time staff of more than 25 people, AIC continues to grow and expand its reach in accomplishing its mission.
Empowering Tunisia’s Future Leaders
Tunisian citizens, especially youth, dream about a better future in a democratic and free country. They dream about a country that allows them to enjoy their citizenship, freedom and full rights. The "I Have a Dream" project focuses on grassroots civic education to engage Tunisians in the process of developing the new constitution. As the first promoter of young social entrepreneurs in Tunisia, AIC sponsored 49 projects of young social entrepreneurs across Tunisia as part of a microgrant program called Tune in Tunisia.
