The Foundation

Persia, the land of poets, writers, civilization... A place where the world's first human rights declaration was made. A rich homeland of culture, color and pastime. The strength of this culture has given us reason for pride and self-regard.

THIS IS THE PROMISE OF PERSIAN CENTER

More than 2 decades have past since our most recent migration to this land. Today as the world becomes smaller and smaller, thousands of Iranians continue to migrate to different parts of the world. During this era, we have become and established and accomplished community. we have moved far beyond the struggle for physical survival and now we search for the nourishment of our souls and hearts yearning the culture we have left behind.
