Our mission is to foster cultural, social, and political interactions among our members and to build bridges with mainstream U.S. politics. We engage in community service activities such as food drives, soup kitchens, voter registration, and other charitable works.

Volunters’s Mission

PACOLI is a not-for-profit organization, recognized under IRS section 501(c)(3). We are a non-religious, non-political, and non-partisan entity, dedicated to serving the Pakistani American community here in New York.

Our mission is simple yet powerful: to build bridges between Pakistani Americans and the broader American society. We do this by creating awareness, encouraging civic engagement, and promoting unity.

We are committed to empowering women, preparing youth for leadership, and preserving our rich language and literature through seminars and cultural festivals. At the same time, we extend our outreach through food drives, soup kitchens, voter registration, and other charitable initiatives that foster trust and understanding among communities.

Together, we uplift our community and contribute meaningfully to the diversity and strength of this great nation. The future is ours to shape, side by side, hand in hand.

Volunteers’s Story

Since its founding, PACOLI has always believed that helping each other is not just an aspiration but a responsibility. Because when one person thrives, the whole community moves forward.

PACOLI New York Inc. is not just an organization—it is your platform, your voice, and your future.
As youth, we carry the responsibility of shaping the communities we live in and the society we will one day lead. PACOLI gives us the opportunity to serve with purpose, to learn the value of civic engagement, and to stand at the intersection of service, identity, and responsibility.
Through PACOLI, you can be part of real change—whether it’s helping organize food drives, supporting educational initiatives, participating in community events, or engaging in meaningful civic awareness. These experiences do more than help others; they build leadership, confidence, and a sense of belonging.
This organization belongs to you as much as it belongs to any generation before. The future of PACOLI depends on youth who are willing to step forward, contribute ideas, and lead with integrity and compassion.
I encourage you to get involved, raise your voice, and take ownership of this community. What you build today will be defined tomorrow.
PACOLI is your future—step into it.
