Help Build Our Community in 2012

In 2003, IAAB started a movement.  A casual conversation between two college students grew into an organization that has impacted thousands of Iranians across the world.

• Conducted Essay Contests, inspiring reflective pieces from Iranian diaspora youth worldwide;

• Created the Leadership in Action Fellowship, a fellowship that empowers leaders who serve local communities such as Toronto's Iranian population.
