About Indo-American Center

For 35 years, the Indo-American Center has been a vital resource and gathering place for South Asian immigrants and diverse communities throughout Chicago, IL. Founded on principles of inclusion and cultural appreciation, IAC nurtures a sense of belonging while fostering understanding of the rich diversity of cultures and heritages represented in the Chicago area. The organization recognizes that South Asian immigrants and residents contribute significantly to Illinois's economic vitality and community fabric, and IAC is committed to honoring these contributions through meaningful support. Beyond traditional social services, IAC functions as a center for nourishment—both physical and spiritual—creating spaces where individuals and families can find support, build friendships, and strengthen their connections to the wider society. The organization's non-partisan approach ensures that all community members, regardless of background or beliefs, feel welcomed and valued. IAC's commitment to accessibility is reflected in its multilingual services and culturally responsive programming that honors the specific needs and traditions of South Asian communities while embracing people from more than thirty nations. As a secular social service agency, the center maintains rigorous non-discrimination standards and operates with transparency and accountability. Through direct service, education, and advocacy, IAC continues to be a trusted partner in helping Chicago's diverse immigrant communities thrive and integrate successfully.
