Welcome to the Ramallah Club of Metropolitan Detroit
The Ramallah Club of Metropolitan Detroit is a local chapter of the American Ramallah Federation, Palestine (AFRP).
The American Federation of Ramallah Palestine was created in 1958 as a national organization with the intent to link ties between the Arab American communities and to promote better understanding of the political aspirations of Palestinians. Residents of Ramallah (a town ten miles north of Jerusalem), began to immigrate to the United States as early as 1900. Today there are over 30,000 descendents from Ramallah living throughout major cities within the United States. Many local chapters were formed making up the American Ramallah Federation. Please visit The American Federation Ramallah, Palestine website at AFRP.org for more information. As Palestinians and Americans, we have pride in our heritage and want to share our culture with our families and friends. Being involved with the Ramallah Clubs unifies and strengthens our community. The Ramallah Club of Metropolitan Detroit is a nonprofit organization IRC 501(c) (7), whose intent is to preserve their Palestinian culture and heritage in the United States. The Ramallah Club of Metropolitan Detroit’s goals are to instill and nurture in the Ramallah youth in the United States their ancestral language, culture, and heritage and to orient the American public with Arab culture and heritage and to promote better understanding of the political aspirations of the Palestinian people in particular and the Arabs in general. By promoting educational programs, social events, and cultural awareness, this organization hopes to keep our Palestinian community unified for generations.
