The organization takes pride in its affiliation with the Organization of Iranian American Communities-US and actively honors the aspirations of the Iranian people for peaceful, organic societal transition. Through community organizing and public education, IAC-OH advocates for gender equality, religious tolerance, and ethnic respect while promoting a more cooperative and compassionate global order. Members engage directly with media, community institutions, and political representatives to ensure that Iranian-American voices are heard on matters of importance to their heritage, their adopted home, and international affairs. The organization's commitment extends beyond advocacy to building meaningful connections among Ohio's Iranian-American population, fostering shared understanding of cultural identity, and creating pathways for civic participation that honor both American and Iranian values.

Rooted in the immigrant experience, the Persian American Cultural Society has served the Milford, OH region and Tri-State area since spring 2015, continuing a legacy of cultural preservation and community building that began decades earlier. Founded in response to the real challenges faced by Persian American families navigating cultural differences, the organization emerged from grassroots family gatherings that evolved into structured programming and organized activities. Today, PACS remains committed to its original mission: helping younger generations develop positive cultural identities while preserving Persian heritage and language for future generations. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, the society operates with complete independence from political and religious influences, ensuring that all community members feel welcome regardless of their background or beliefs. The organization recognizes the importance of intercultural understanding and appreciation, creating spaces where Persian and American cultures can coexist and enrich one another. Based in Milford, Ohio, PACS understands the specific needs of the Persian American community in this region and works tirelessly to provide resources, support, and meaningful connections. By bringing together people united by shared heritage and values, the Persian American Cultural Society builds a strong network dedicated to mutual support, cultural celebration, and community advancement. The organization's deep roots in the Milford area and commitment to serving families and individuals make it a vital resource for anyone seeking authentic community connection and cultural engagement.
