About Us
OUR PURPOSE
Our goal as an organization is to not only build a strong Albanian American community within Westchester County but to support the professional and personal development of our members. We achieve this goal by providing our members the opportunity to connect with each other through networking events, speakers series, Albanian language classes, cultural events and more.
WHO WE ARE
The Albanian American Club of Westchester is a not-for-profit membership based organization ​5​01(c)3 located in Westchester County, New York. Our Founder, Valon Nikci's passion to build a supportive Albanian American community was just an idea for many years until his vision came to life in May 2022 at our successful launch party. Since then the organization has grown to include individuals who share the same vision - that is to uplift and empower each other while connecting to and nurturing their Albanian roots.
