At Zenobia, our mission is to preserve and celebrate the richness of Syrian culture, support those impacted by conflict, and empower the next generation through education, community, and service. Rooted in heritage and driven by compassion, we strive to create a space where culture thrives, voices are uplifted, and meaningful change begins, both locally and globally.

Zenobia is made up of Syrian immigrant families from the Chicago area and its western suburbs. Our community includes people from different regions of Syria, with a variety of religious backgrounds, careers, and life experiences. Many young people in our community are students, volunteers, and active participants in our programs. Together, we’ve built a space where people can connect, support one another, and stay rooted in their shared culture.
