Turkish American Cultural Society of Rhode Island

About Turkish American Cultural Society of Rhode Island

Since 2000, the Turkish American Cultural Society of Rhode Island has been a cornerstone of cultural preservation and community support in Providence, RI. Founded on the principle that problem-solving requires diverse perspectives and willingness to take risks, TACS-RI brings together Turkish Americans and community members who share a commitment to celebrating heritage while addressing contemporary challenges. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, TACS-RI operates with a clear mission: to educate the public about the many dimensions of Turkey while strengthening the bonds within the Rhode Island community. What sets TACS-RI apart is its commitment to both cultural education and practical community action. The organization goes beyond traditional cultural programming by actively supporting local schools and addressing food insecurity through donation initiatives. TACS-RI's approach reflects a deep understanding that cultural organizations can be forces for positive change, combining historical and anthropological education with real-world community service. Located in Providence, TACS-RI welcomes individuals from all backgrounds to learn about Turkish culture, participate in community events, and contribute to meaningful causes. The organization's non-political stance ensures that its focus remains on the universal human dimensions of Turkish life—its history, traditions, sociology, and anthropology. For those seeking to connect with Turkish heritage or simply wanting to support a community-minded organization making a tangible difference in Providence, TACS-RI represents a unique opportunity to be part of something larger than oneself.
