Afro American Cultural Center at Yale This is the page of the Afro-American Cultural Center at Yale. Check for periodic updates on what's The House is located at 211 Park Street.

The Afro-American Cultural Center at Yale University (affectionally known as "The House"), emerged in response to student initiative and creativity during the 1960s. The House seeks to develop an environment in which cultural diversity is understood and respected throughout the campus community and beyond. The programs, services and activities of the Afro-American Cultural Center are administered

by the Director, who also serves as an assistant dean of Yale College. The primary programmatic thrust of the Center is through its 30+ student organizations ranging from academic, cultural, political/ethnic, performance, community service and Black Greek life. Assistance in conducting the Center's affairs is provided by five graduate student assistants, a team of eight student assistants, and nine peer liaisons. The House staff members (students and professionals) offer academic advising, personal counseling, guidance, referral, and problem-solving services. In addition, the staff produces a newsletter detailing events and programs on campus. Black Yale students are very involved in New Haven through community service projects such as assisting the homeless to tutoring and mentoring of New Haven youth and conducting master classes in the performing and literary arts. During the summer, the ORD Leadership Forum provides college prep workshops for foster care youth in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and New Haven. The Black undergraduates at Yale comprise 10% of the undergraduate population. For more questions about the House please, contact [email protected]. All members of the Yale community are welcome.
