The ECDC African Community Center of Denver's mission is to help refugees and immigrants rebuild safe, sustainable lives in Denver. Our vision is to be an integrative center of multicultural exchange where community members feel a sense of belonging and actively contribute to an inclusive society. At ECDC African Community Center, we welcome refugees who have fled persecution and have been granted third country resettlement through UNHCR and the U.S. State Department. Refugees come to Colorado from all regions of the world. ACC welcomes people from all over the globe. With a diverse staff and the help of faithful volunteers and interns, ACC conducts educational and social service programs that help newcomers rebuild their lives in their new community, navigate U.S. systems and cultures, gain confidence and economic self-sufficiency, and become productive, contributing, thriving members of society.
