Homa was born out of a genuine need — a need for a cultural home for our children. A home where the mother tongue is never forgotten, where roots stay strong, and identity grows with love and awareness.
We believe that the Persian language is more than words; it is a bridge between generations, a feeling shared among hearts, and a living memory of love, music, poetry, stories, and history.
At Homa, children live the Persian language
through play
through music
through festivals
through art

Homa Cultural & Educational Foundation was established in February 2023 in Orange County, California.
Although officially founded recently, Homa’s team is composed of experienced educators and community leaders with over 25 years of excellence in teaching Persian language, organizing cultural programs, and celebrating traditional Iranian festivals across the United States.
Through Persian language classes, art workshops, and national celebrations such as Nowruz, Mehregan, and Yalda, Homa has created a cultural home for families and future generations — a place where language and culture stay alive, breathe, and continue to grow.
Homa was founded in February 2023 out of a deep passion for education and culture. Its roots, however, go back more than two decades of volunteer work and teaching within the Iranian–American community.
What began as a small cultural group has grown into a vibrant and inspiring organization that lovingly passes on the Persian language and heritage to the next generation.
Our mission is to preserve and promote the Persian language and Iranian cultural heritage for future generations.
We provide a safe, respectful, and inspiring environment where children and youth can:
Learn Persian as a living and practical language
Build a deep connection with their roots and cultural identity
Experience friendship, collaboration, and mutual respect
Our vision is to create a cultural home where:
The Persian language remains alive and vibrant,
Iranian culture is shared with joy, beauty, and awareness,
Families and generations stay connected,
And the Iranian–American community builds a bridge between its roots and its future.
Homa means all of us.
