Sacramento, CA – April 2025 – The Arab Community Center for Integration Services (ACCIS) proudly joins the nation in celebrating Arab American Heritage Month this April. The 2025 theme, “Honoring the Past, Inspiring the Future,” highlights the legacy of Arab Americans while recognizing the next generation of leaders making significant strides in business, government, education, science, and the arts.

ACCIS, a volunteer-run organization empowering Arab immigrants and refugees in Sacramento, is proud to celebrate its own legacy of uplifting the Arab American community.
