NNAAC members are deeply rooted in their local commuinties, providing services to tens of thousands of Arab Americans and community members at large annually, and thus are uniquely qualified to identify the key issues their communities face.  Therefore, NNAAC’s Advocacy & Civic Engagement (ACE) program works to collectively address those concerns, increase the civic participation of Arab Americans, and increase member organization’s capacity to engage to advocacy and civic engagement initiatives in their local communities.

The ACE program focuses its efforts in four main areas:

• Immigrant rights
• Civil liberties & human rights
• Access to human services
• Support for national service programs
