American Indian Community Center
About American Indian Community Center
Founded in 1967 as a social gathering place for American Indians in the Spokane area, the American Indian Community Center (AICC) has grown into a cornerstone organization serving the broader community with compassion and cultural respect. More than just a service provider, AICC recognizes that relationships are its most valuable resource—the connections between staff, clients, partners, volunteers, and supporters form the foundation of transformative work. The organization serves urban-based Native people and individuals from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds throughout greater Spokane, WA, creating a welcoming environment where people feel a genuine sense of belonging. AICC's vision centers on building a respectful and hospitable gathering place that links all who walk through its doors to services and relationships that heal, strengthen, and honor their diverse experiences and cultures. With a mission to end racism and create a world of kindness, acceptance, and diversity, AICC goes beyond traditional service delivery to foster community connection and cultural celebration. The Center's team-building activities and cultural events reinforce its commitment to preserving Indian traditions while supporting individual and family self-sufficiency. By combining practical support services with genuine community care, AICC represents a unique approach to social and economic development that honors the dignity and cultural identity of every person it serves in the Spokane region.
