Ethnic organizations are groups formed to represent and support the interests of specific ethnic or cultural communities. They often focus on preserving cultural heritage, promoting social welfare, and advocating for the rights of their members. These organizations can provide resources such as education, legal assistance, and networking opportunities. Many ethnic organizations also engage in community outreach and cultural events to raise awareness about their heritage. They may collaborate with other groups and institutions to address issues like discrimination and social justice. Examples include the NAACP for African Americans and the Hispanic Federation for Latino communities.
