For over 40 years, the Federation of Italian American Organizations (FIAO) has been a dedicated advocate for Brooklyn’s diverse community. Our mission is to improve the lives of all through free legal services, social and mental health support, after-school programs, and wellness initiatives. We believe in the power of community and offer a safe space for individuals of all backgrounds to come together, learn, and grow.
At FIAO, we rise to the occasion every day. Whether it’s providing critical support to immigrants navigating complex legal systems, offering mental health services to those in need, empowering youth with the tools to succeed through our after-school programs, or strengthening community ties through wellness initiatives—we stand by those who need us most. And at the heart of it all is Il Centro Community Center, a place where health, fitness, cultural celebrations, and youth development come together to foster connection, growth, and opportunity.
Our community is at the heart of everything we do. Together, we can create a better, stronger, and more inclusive society for all.
