We believe in the power of a connected community. That’s why, for more than 10 years, Society for Africans in the Diaspora Community has connected people who care with causes that matter for Africans in the Diaspora. Together we can improve our world. We strengthens the communities we serve by providing leadership, addressing community needs and assisting individuals and organizations, through our own networks, and strengthen the bonds between Africa and America.

We've created unconventional spaces to support community development, promote entrepreneurship, and connect young leaders with one another. Through our three programming arms – Arts, Education, and Community, we center art as a vehicle of social change, giving platform within our safe spaces to people of African decent and artists whose work honor, celebrate, and expand this dynamic, intersectional conversation, while inviting all in to explore, engage, and thrive within our collective evolution.

In a knowledge economy, education is the new currency by which community can maintain economic competitiveness and global prosperity. SAiD is providing the tools to support leadership development, promote entrepreneurship, and connect young leaders to each other.  Our Educational Program gives African and American students the opportunity to develop cultural exchanges and have valuable professional experiences in the fields of leadership, business management, technology and art.

Our program brings together experts, stakeholders, and participants in education, culture, philanthropy, arts, and media to discuss issues in a U.S.- Africa context. We recognize the importance of reaching out to those that will help foster policy dialogue on issues affecting immigration, education and long-term sustainable development in Africa. Featuring top policy makers working in various ways to strengthen civic engagement, create pathways to education outside of the classroom.
