Heritage & values

A community carried forward.

ATA-Houston began in 1979 with a simple idea: to help Turkish-American families stay connected to their culture while building a life in Houston.

Today, that spirit lives on through friendships, volunteering, cultural events, shared traditions, and the people who continue to gather here across generations.
