Our Story

From vision to
vibrant community

The Palestinian American Cultural Center was founded in Houston with a clear mission: to unite, empower, and celebrate our heritage while building bridges with the broader community.

What began as a gathering of passionate individuals has grown into a thriving organization that hosts the Houston Palestinian Festival, awards scholarships to deserving students, and serves as a cultural beacon for Palestinians across Texas.

Today, we continue to honor our roots while looking toward the future—ensuring that Palestinian culture, history, and values are preserved and shared for generations to come.
