 WHAT IS ATC?
Association of Togolese in Chicagoland (ATC) is a nonprofit, apolitical, and nonreligious organization that had a democratic and professional structure based on Illinois laws and regulations.
ATC assembles Togolese in Chicagoland, inspired by a common will to keep up with their cultural identities. This organization was created in response to the aspiration of Togolese residing in Chicagoland particularly and in the US as a whole.
We are dedicated to the general advancement of our own wellness and to support each other mutually by all necessary means.
We are committed to utilize our resources to build a cultural, socio, economic basis useful to all, and to cooperate with other organizations having similar/common objectives or goals. For all these reasons, ATC was incorporated in the state of Illinois.
