Assembly of Turkish American Associations
A growing national network of youth councils under ATAA — empowering the next generation of Turkish Americans through leadership, cultural heritage, and community engagement.
Who we are
ATAA Youth Councils operate under the Assembly of Turkish American Associations, the largest democratically elected Turkish American membership organization in the United States. Each council is a local home for Turkish American youth — organized by students, guided by mentors, and connected to a nationwide network.
Every council hosts its own programs and keeps its own identity, while sharing one mission: raising confident young leaders who carry their heritage forward and give back to their communities.
Public speaking, project management, mentorship circles, and college & career preparation.
Programs celebrating Turkish history, language, and arts — keeping culture alive across generations.
Service projects, civic participation, and connections across the Turkish American community.

Each council connects directly to ATAA and serves its own region.

Bringing together Turkish American youth in Palm Beach and across South Florida through cultural celebrations, community events, and service.
Connecting Turkish American students and young professionals across the Midwest with webinars, college admissions programs, cultural celebrations, and volunteer projects.
