A Call to Moroccan American Youth: The Future of our community depends on you

Updated: Feb 24




As Moroccan Americans, we are uniquely positioned between two vibrant cultures, one deeply rooted in the traditions of Morocco, and the other shaped by the opportunities and challenges of life in the United States. The Aborkhous Foundation was established with a vision to build a thriving Moroccan American community, and at the heart of this mission is you, the youth.


We believe that by embracing our rich heritage and actively contributing to our community, we can strengthen our identity, foster meaningful connections, and create lasting impact in both Morocco and America. Here's how you can be part of this movement:


1. Connect with Your Roots


Your Moroccan heritage is a source of strength and pride. Learning about Morocco's history, traditions, and culture not only enriches your personal identity but also empowers you to share it with others. Consider:

Annual visits to Morocco to experience the beauty of your homeland, connect with your heritage, and immerse yourself in Moroccan traditions.

Learning the language, whether it is Darija, Arabic, or Tamazight, knowing the language helps deepen your bond with Moroccan culture. Exploring history and customs. Understanding the struggles and triumphs of Moroccans before us can inspire us to shape a better future.


2. Be an Active Voice in the Community


Your ideas, experiences, and perspectives are invaluable in shaping the Moroccan American narrative. Get involved by:

  • Volunteering with the Aborkhous Foundation, you contribute your time and skills to initiatives that uplift our community.

  • Joining discussions on social media, share your thoughts on topics that impact Moroccan American youths, from education and career challenges to cultural identity.

  • Writing blogs or creating content. Sharing your stories and insights can inspire others to embrace their Moroccan roots while excelling in America.


3. Take Initiative and Lead


The future of the Moroccan American community depends on young leaders like you. Step up by:

  • Proposing ideas to further our mission. Whether it's organizing events, starting mentorship programs, or advocating for community initiatives, your contributions matter.

  • Building networks. Connect with other Moroccan Americans, professionals, and leaders to create opportunities for collaboration and growth.

  • Representing our values in America. Our community thrives when we integrate successfully while preserving our heritage. By excelling in school, careers, and public life, we strengthen the positive impact of Moroccan Americans in the U.S.


Join Us in Strengthening Our Community


The Aborkhous Foundation is here to support, guide, and uplift you. Together, we can build a strong, proud, and prosperous Moroccan American community. Be part of this movement, volunteer, engage, lead, and most importantly, take pride in who you are.


Let's shape the future while honoring our past. Are you ready to make a difference?


A fun fact to close: Do you know that Morocco was the first country in the world to recognize the independence of the United States of America?
