How We Started
Activated Massachusetts African Community (AMAC) was established in January 2020 by an enthusiastic group of African immigrant brothers and sisters from the African diaspora in Massachusetts.
Our organization started as an idea from a handful of African individuals wanting to strengthen the bond of the African immigrant community in Massachusetts. Originating from this idea, we then began to speak with our African brothers and sisters from different countries living in MA to evolve this idea and set our vision, mission and goals as a team.
We are proud to be the only African organization that is focused on addressing the needs of the collective African community throughout Massachusetts.
