Sharing and Promoting Turkish Culture

 

Chicago Turkish Collaborative was founded with the mission to create a community for Turks of varied backgrounds and generations to celebrate a secular and cultural understanding of what it means to be Turkish.

Through collaboration, education and connection - we celebrate our Chicagoland Turkish community and work to share our rich culture with all those interested.
