AHES Helps African communities recognize, preserve, and explore our shared heritage – in all the places where the past meets the present. We are passionate about building and sustaining an inclusive and equitable working environment for all our staff and members or Clients. African heritage and Employment Services (AHS) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that aims to address the challenges of employment among refugees and immigrants in Washington. 

AHES’s staff, board members, and volunteers bring a deep understanding of the diverse needs of South King County’s new communities. Thanks to the hard work of our diverse faculty, and philanthropic efforts of our donors, we are able to create livable wage employment opportunities for immigrants and refugees in Washington State. By providing in-language, culturally competent program designs that responsively support the goals of each client, we focus to build sustainable self-reliance for the immigrant and refugees in Washington State.
