The Afghan Elderly Association (AEA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving Afghan elders and newly arrived refugees. Its mission is to support the Afghan community through education, advocacy, and connections to government and community services. AEA focuses on improving wellbeing through culturally appropriate, preventative health programs and by linking participants with community resources.

The organization aims to help address challenges that can leave people isolated or underserved, including language barriers, limited transportation, financial constraints, and age-related needs. Its work is shaped by the people it serves, with an emphasis on creating positive change in their lives. AEA also brings the community together through programs and events, including an Afghan Culture Celebration Night, and works with community partners.

The organization’s website highlights its team, board of directors, programs, events, and connections with Leadership Fremont and the Afghan Elderly Association. Through these efforts, AEA supports greater access, wellbeing, and community connection for Afghan elders and refugees
