Our Purpose. Our People. Our Future.
The Heart of MACS
The Moroccan American Cultural Society of Florida (MACS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in May 2022 by Samir Fkiyi and Cassandra Pivacco. Built from a commitment to culture, community, and service, MACS was created to expand opportunities, strengthen connections, and provide meaningful resources for Moroccan Americans and the broader communities we serve.
Today, MACS brings people together through cultural, educational, leadership, and community initiatives that celebrate Moroccan heritage while creating connections across cultures and generations. Our work is guided by a dedicated Board of Directors and an emerging generation of youth leaders who share a commitment to preserving our heritage, serving our communities, and inspiring the future.
From youth leadership and cultural education to community initiatives and cultural experiences, MACS continues to build bridges between Morocco, the United States, and the diverse communities we call home.
Mission statement
Our mission is to celebrate, preserve, and share Moroccan culture and heritage while creating meaningful opportunities for connection, leadership, and community service. Through youth leadership programs, cultural and educational initiatives, community engagement, and partnerships, MACS empowers individuals to embrace their heritage, strengthens connections across cultures and generations, and contributes to a more connected and inclusive community.
Vision Statement
Our vision is to build a connected and engaged community where Moroccan heritage is celebrated, young people are empowered to lead, and cultural understanding brings people closer together. We envision MACS as a lasting bridge between Morocco, the United States, and the diverse communities we serve, creating opportunities for cultural exchange, leadership, collaboration, and service that inspire generations to come.
