ICC moved to its new, 40,000-square-foot home on July 1, 2007. It enriches lives and builds community through educational, cultural, recreational and wellness community programs. The new facility features a state-of-the-art fitness and wellness center, an auditorium to host community events, expanded classrooms, a new café and a dedicated space for a new free medical clinic.

The mission of the ICC is:

To foster community spirit by creating a place for family and friends to come together

To make a positive difference in the community by providing social, cultural, educational, professional and recreational programs

To be an essential resource for the community by providing support in areas such as health, seniors, women and youth.

ICC offers programs for all ages and the family to come together. ICC features a 13,000-sq.ft. state-of-the-art fitness and wellness center managed by Club One. The Center offers 45+ fitness classes including Tai-Chi, Bollywood Aerobics, Yoga, and classes for youth. Members enjoy free child care while working out or taking a class.

THE SPA at ICC specializes in offering an invigorating experience in renewal and a unique holistic mind, body, health transformation.

The center has a state-of-the-art Banquet and Auditorium Center which includes the latest multimedia equipment and two large drop-down screens for easier stage viewing. The auditorium seats 800 people theatre style and 550 people banquet style. The soft décor and modern blend at ICC presents a perfect view of sophistication and elegance for family functions, meetings, anniversaries or social events. Corporations also find this location ideal with several rooms to choose from with wireless internet.

ICC offers more than 120 programs for the community, including math, Bollywood dance, table tennis, language classes, GMAT and many others. Programs are offered at Milpitas and other satellite locations. ICC’s Summer Camps are popular and offer camps in musical theatre, table tennis, dance and many more.

Community Service is a key part of ICC’s mission. The services are open to all and at no cost which include free weekly legal and Medical clinics for the underserved. ICC recently launched a career resource center and conducts free self defense workshops for women.

Many clubs at ICC foster community interest and are free for members. They include Karaoke, Toastmasters, Bridge and more.

ICC Executive Director Chitra Vivek says ICC has received wide support since its inception in 2003. She notes that the new center was the culmination of a vision that began 15 years ago, with the Indo-American Community Service Center, the forerunner to ICC.

“Everyone who was involved gave something - time, money, skills, ideas, connections and that something is what made this beautiful facility and all of our programs and services possible. But we need the continued support of the community via donor dollars and center memberships – to be able to continue our good work”.

The India Community Center appointed Vivek as executive director last year. “The India Community Center is undergoing enormous growth. I’m really pleased to be involved with ICC at this stage of its development,” Vivek says. “The opportunity is interesting and challenging and I’m also very excited about working with and contributing to the local community.”
