Building Wealth, Claiming Voice, Defining Future
WHO WE ARE
AFRICAN AMERICAN WORK SOCIETY
Welcome to the African American Work Society. We are a charitable and educational non-governmental organization dedicated to empowering Black communities across the United States through economic independence and entrepreneurship.
WHO WE ARE
Our Roots, Our ResolveThe African American Work Society was founded with a radical vision: not just to exist, but to lead. We are more than an organization—we are a movement, committed to cultivating generational prosperity, rooted in community, and driven by economic justice. We forge pathways to self-sufficiency, develop emerging leaders, and advocate policies that reflect the lived experiences of our people. With tax-exempt status and a solid organizational backbone, we are stepping into a bold new era—unifying resources, amplifying voices, and extending our global reach.
WHAT WE DO
Turning Ideas into Impact Our work focuses on two interconnected pillars that drive real transformation:
Economic Empowerment We build and manage community-rooted enterprises that generate employment and provide essential goods and services—laying the foundation for material stability and economic opportunity.
Workforce & Enterprise Development Through targeted training, mentorship, and entrepreneurial support, we equip individuals with the skills, networks, and capital to succeed in the U.S. economy—and take ownership of their future.
