Florida Turkish American Association
About Florida Turkish American Association
Based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, the Florida Turkish American Association (FTAA) is a nonprofit organization rooted in the principles of cultural dialogue, community solidarity, and interfaith cooperation. Founded on the belief that understanding and friendship across cultures strengthens communities, FTAA brings together people from all walks of life to celebrate Turkish heritage while fostering genuine connections with the broader Fort Lauderdale community.
FTAA's mission centers on creating a peaceful society through education and dialogue initiatives while supporting vulnerable members of the community through charitable programs and humanitarian assistance. The organization envisions a world where people live together in peace, harmony, and prosperity—a vision it actively pursues by hosting community gatherings, cultural events, educational seminars, and language classes that serve residents throughout Fort Lauderdale. By promoting the exchange of arts, culture, music, and cuisine between Turkish and American traditions, FTAA creates meaningful opportunities for cross-cultural learning and appreciation.
What sets FTAA apart is its commitment to building bridges rather than barriers. The organization welcomes participants of all backgrounds and faiths, working collaboratively with diverse partners to address shared community challenges. Through its comprehensive programs—including cultural education, community service, spiritual initiatives, and youth engagement—FTAA demonstrates that cultural pride and community unity are not mutually exclusive. For residents of Fort Lauderdale seeking to deepen their cultural knowledge, make meaningful connections, or contribute to a more cohesive community, FTAA offers an inclusive space where Turkish American heritage thrives.
