The Multicultural Resource Directory is a major component of the Atlanta Regional Commission's (ARC) Global Atlanta Works program. It is an online, interactive database that contains resources and other information especially useful for engaging and expanding opportunities with ethnic and immigrant communities, facilitating public participation, and improving services delivery. The resources target ethnic and immigrant communities in the ten-county Atlanta region (Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry, Rockdale and the City of Atlanta).

This directory is designed specifically for users such as outreach coordinators, local governments, ethnic communities, the media, educational institutions, health and human service providers, private industry and the general public. It works most efficiently when used in tandem with the Global Atlanta Works Interactive Mapping System and Global Atlanta Works Calendar of Events. Together, they offer the most complete and up-to-date ethnic-related resources and information that are accessible and easy to use.

Resources include ethnic community organizations and associations, cultural activities, health and human services providers, government agency programs, neighborhood-oriented groups, merchants' associations, occupational associations, organizations that offer arts, recreational and educational opportunities, ethnic media, and community experts and speakers, linguistic service providers, international and business entities, faith-based groups - all targeting ethnic and immigrant population groups in Atlanta.

Each featured organization/entity has an information profile record; the profile includes:

Resource providers are able to add and update profile records online via email at multiculturaldirectory@atlantaregional.com. Additionally, records are kept current by ARC staff who will contact each organization/entity at least once each year via email to ensure that information about the organization/entity is up-to-date and correct.

The information in the Multicultural Resource Directory is free to all. However, those who use this information must acknowledge the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC)Global Atlanta Works Program as the source. The Global Atlanta Works Multicultural Resource Directory is accessible 24 hours/day on the ARC Web site.
