Strengthening Community, Culture, and Belonging
For 20 years, ABRACE has been a nonprofit community organization dedicated to promoting Portuguese as a Heritage Language (PHL) and strengthening the cultural identity of Brazilian children and families throughout the Washington, DC metropolitan area.

- More than 150 children and youth served each semester
- More than 1,500 students and family members served since our founding
- 12 Portuguese language classes currently in operation
- A community library with more than 2,000 books
