The Association of Exchange and Development of Activities and Partnerships (AEDAP®) builds programs that prioritize youth, parents, seniors, and women — in Miami-Dade County and across Haiti.
AEDAP is a leadership concept that existing community organizations apply to develop partnerships and collaboration — both in the United States and Haiti. We are a global model where youth, parents, seniors, and women all thrive.
AEDAP works through programs that bring our communities together — celebrating Haitian heritage, equipping the next generation, and supporting those who keep families strong.
Celebrating Haitian heritage through gallery shows, artist showcases, and annual heritage celebrations across South Florida.
Educational materials, scholarship support, and youth programs that build the leaders Miami-Dade and Haiti need next.
Annual health day partnerships with the Haitian Medical Association and local providers — screenings, education, and access.
Partnership development, civic engagement, and emergency response coordination for our communities in the US and Haiti.
The Association of Exchange and Development of Activities & Partnerships, Inc. (AEDAP®) was founded in February 1982 by Jean Th. Lindor — originally as Association Et Encadrement Pour Le Developpement De L'Arrière Pays.
For more than forty years, AEDAP has built bridges between the Haitian-American community in Miami-Dade County and partners across Haiti — supporting emergency response, educational outreach, cultural programming, and health initiatives.
Today AEDAP is led by Dr. Flore Lindor-Latortue, continuing her father's vision of partnership-driven community development in both countries.
Each May, AEDAP brings the richness of Haitian art, music, and culture to a broader audience — alongside the Haitian Medical Association for screenings, education, and community connection. We also welcome the Asian Pacific community to celebrate with us.
