Learn about our mission, history, and the values that drive us forward
The Jordanian American Association was officially incorporated on July 23, 2025, by 31 founding members who shared a vision of a united and thriving Jordanian American community. What began as informal gatherings among friends and families evolved into a formal organization dedicated to cultural preservation, community support, and civic engagement throughout the New Jersey and New York metropolitan area.
