About Us

 

Organization history

 As Turkish-Americans who have spent their entire lives in the United States, we've always had a local community consisting of our family and friends. Through the opportunity offered by our own Turkish-American associations on the statewide level, we were able to foster positive relationships with our fellow peers. However, as young adults in a rapidly changing world, we'd like to branch out our efforts to the national level, as the official nationwide Turkish-American youth group, under our parent organization: The Assembly of Turkish-American Associations.
