The Ethiopian Community and Cultural Center ECCC of the East Bay Area was established in 2001 to empower Ethiopians and Ethiopian-Americans through education, advocacy, services and development of community based resources and services. While the organization is striving to make direct social services as the backbone of the organization’s work, ECCC will successfully expand its services and programs to meet the new challenges and the changing needs of the Ethiopian community. ECCC is planning to be a leader, and this gathering a demonstration, to organize and produce new efforts to further develop the Ethiopian Community in the greater bay area. Our goal and objectives are to make a difference for the Ethiopian community and others by working with non profit organizations, local governments (district, city, state and federal) becoming a partner in solving issues that affect the community.
