About EACNGA

Mission: Preserve Eritrean heritage, strengthen unity, and support the new generation in education, culture, and leadership.

The Eritrean American Community New Generation Association (EACNGA) is a nonprofit, community-driven organization based in Greater Seattle. We are dedicated to uplifting Eritrean Americans—especially youth, families, and new generations—through education, cultural preservation, civic engagement, and social empowerment.

We were founded by Eritrean immigrants and their descendants who believe in building strong connections between heritage and opportunity, tradition and innovation, and identity and inclusion.

Who We Are

EACNGA empowers the Eritrean American community by:

  • Preserving and promoting Eritrean culture, language, and history.
  • Supporting youth with leadership development, mentorship, and educational opportunities.
  • Building bridges across generations, neighborhoods, and cultures to strengthen unity and civic engagement.
  • Providing resources for families and individuals to thrive in education, employment, and community life.

What We Do

  • Cultural Education & Heritage: Celebrations, festivals, and language classes that honor Eritrean traditions.
  • Youth Leadership & Mentorship: Programs that inspire the next generation to lead with confidence and purpose.
  • Community Support & Advocacy: Helping families navigate housing, employment, health, and social services.
  • Digital & Life Skills Training: Equipping members with 21st-century tools for learning, employment, and civic participation.
  • Dialogue & Awareness: Facilitating open conversations on challenges and opportunities facing Eritreans at home and abroad.

Our Vision

We envision a thriving Eritrean American community that is united, resilient, and engaged—where every generation is empowered to succeed, contribute, and preserve the rich cultural legacy of Eritrea.
