Our Mission
The Office of Multicultural Affairs and Community Engagement aims to cultivate an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere that values diversity, advances education and cultural awareness, and actively engages with our community. We believe your active participation is crucial in building a more cohesive society. Through impactful dialogue, programs, advocacy, and collaboration, we work to honor diverse cultures, empower individuals to flourish, and contribute to a stronger, more inclusive community for everyone.
Suffolk County is a vibrant community home to nearly 1.526 million people. In 2023, African Americans, Latinos, Asians, and other ethnic groups collectively represented 38 % of the population, demonstrating the rich diversity we celebrate and serve.
These various ethnic groups, the fastest-growing communities in our County, present a unique opportunity. With their growth and presence, we have the potential to strengthen communications and build even greater community engagement.
