Program Overview

The Indo-American Center (IAC) was founded in 1990 by a group of Indian immigrants in response to the needs of Chicago's growing South Asian immigrant population. The founders of IAC were individuals who had worked hard to attain success in America, and they were driven by the desire to help others adjust to a new country far from home.

Student and Volunteer Success Stories

Upon her first few weeks of arriving in America, Bishnu Neupane faced a few checkpoints
to achieve: helping out her community as she did in Nepal, securing a healthy
environment for her daughter, and improving her English. Through extensive
outreach at local fast food chains, she saw an advertisement at the Dunkin
Donuts she worked at and registered with the adult literacy program, in which
she progressed quickly with her tutor, Daniel. After three months of learning
English, she enrolled her daughter in IAC's after school program in the fall of
2017 where her daughter received ample homework help and stable social skills,
Bishnu was introduced to the community navigator program where she developed
leadership and effective communication skills to make powerful KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
presentations. She earned $500 through the community navigator program from the
City of Chicago and is an admired English language learner and honorable
employee at the local Dunkin Donuts.
