Bridging Cultures, Building Community
Our mission is to share and promote Turkish culture.
Chicago Turkish Collaborative brings together varied backgrounds and generations to educate and support a secular and cultural understanding of what it means to be Turkish through collaboration, education, and connection.
Events and Activities
We host a variety of events and gatherings that bring people together to celebrate culture, traditions, and connections. From holiday festivals and cultural showcases to casual meetups and family-friendly activities, these events provide a warm space to connect with others. They are a chance to share heritage, enjoy food, music, and conversation, and build lasting friendships within the community.
Community Resources
The Chicago Turkish Collaborative partners with a welcoming network of cultural, social, and educational support. Local organizations provide resources such as language classes, cultural programs, and family services, while also hosting events that celebrate traditions and strengthen community ties. These efforts create a supportive space for newcomers and long-time residents alike to connect, share experiences, and thrive together.
