The Isoko Association of New York (IANY)

The Isoko Association of New York (IANY) is a community-based organization supporting members of the Isoko ethnic group from Delta State, Nigeria, who reside in New York and surrounding areas. Established in 1994, the association was initially incorporated in Brooklyn, with founding members like Mr. Ben Oyogho and Mr. Diamond Ojada. IANY aims to preserve and promote Isoko culture and heritage, foster unity, and provide mutual support among Isoko people in the diaspora.

IANY organizes regular gatherings, including monthly meetings on the last Saturday of each month in Mount Vernon, NY. These meetings provide a platform for members to connect, discuss community initiatives, and engage in cultural celebrations. The association also contributes to charitable projects, cultural education, and youth development, extending their support to initiatives that benefit Isoko communities in Nigeria.

Through events, networking opportunities, and educational resources, IANY enables members to celebrate their cultural heritage and pass it on to future generations. To learn more or get involved, visit their official site at isokonewyork.org.
