AUK Cares is the university’s social responsibility program that builds on the AUK mission of addressing
important social issues, fostering volunteerism and ethical community service.
Established in 2015, the inaugural campaign of AUK Cares was during the war against ISIS; the campaign provided food supplies to the Kurdish Peshmerga and IDP camps in Duhok.
In 2022, AUK Cares was rebranded and relaunched to serve its mission.
