Welcome to APNA Community Center!

Welcome to the APNA Community Center! Founded in 2017 in Brighton Beach, we are dedicated to building bridges through community engagement, education, and empowerment. Since our inception, APNA has been actively involved in projects to meet the needs of local residents, particularly those who are low-income, older, and/or have limited English proficiency. The Brooklyn neighborhoods of Brighton Beach, Sheepshead Bay, Luna Park, and Coney Island… are home to diverse communities of recent immigrants hailing from countries including Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and several Central American countries. Members of these communities often are not native English speakers and have difficulty navigating government social service systems. APNA helps bridge this gap, ensuring that the communities we serve are able to navigate and benefit from the services that help them live safe, healthy, and fulfilled lives.
