Our History

In the late 1990’s a group of students in the Washington, DC area decided that it was time Arab-American students across the country join together to form a national network of Arab Student Associations (ASAs).

The network, as they envisioned it, would strengthen already established organizations while providing support for emerging university associations. As a union, ASAs would share resources and information to strengthen their capacity as educational, cultural, and political groups in their respective communities.

As these students graduated and entered the workforce, it became clear that an organizational void existed. They wanted to channel their energies into community advancement while also developing their skills and networks in the professional arena.

It was in Washington, D.C., in 2001, that NAAP was formed to fill this void and provide graduating students with a means to continue their community activism and involvement after graduating.

Since its establishment, NAAP has become one of the fastest growing Arab organizations in the United States with chapters developing throughout the nation.
