Where We Came From


One Friday Afternoon in March 2000, the founder – John Tarley was sitting in his living room, with two ladies from Africa discussing workplace discrimination, racism and injustices. As they talked the idea of how they could contribute by joining the efforts of other anti-racism campaigners was developed. In April of that same year, AAP was born with African Workers Center as the first program. African Assistance Program was incorporated in June of 2002 and obtained tax exempt status. With its first grant, the activities of AAP's main program - the African Workers Center (now Community Organizing Program) began.

Over the years as the needs of the community have changed and increased, other programs have been developed. We have been growing strong since and now operate FOUR programs: the Community Organizing, the Economic Self-sufficiency, the Better Health Alertness, and the Youth Enrichment programs.

We would like to give Special Thanks to all who have supported us over the years.  We would never have accomplished what we have had you not stopped by to give us a hand. Thank you again and again!!!!!
