About AAN
about us
The African Advocacy Network (AAN) is a San Francisco-based nonprofit founded in 2009 to serve the growing Diaspora of African and Afro-Caribbean immigrants by providing immigration legal services.
AAN provides services with experienced and trained linguistic capacity in more than ten languages that span the African continent including Amharic, Arabic, Berber, Dioula, Effutu, French, Haitian Creole, Kru, Senya, Sonufu, Spanish, Tigrinya, Wolof, and more.
Driven by our desire to serve vulnerable refugees and immigrants, we act in collaboration with community partners, individuals, faith-based groups, and advocates to amplify our impact and to ensure the equity of all voices and sustain our mission.
The African Advocacy Network is a certified 501 (c) (3), community based non-profit organization recognized by the Office of Legal Access Program (OLAP), Executive Office of Immigration Review, and U.S. Department of Justice to provide immigration legal services.
