Community connections

Connect with the community

Ways to reach people, groups, and organizations around the St. Louis Iranian community — carefully, and with everyone’s privacy respected.

Ways to connect

Request an introduction

Private community groups — on Telegram, WhatsApp, and similar apps — aren’t listed publicly here, and their invite links are never published. If you’d like an introduction or an invitation, ask through the contact page: describe the kind of group or connection you’re looking for, and include only your own contact details.

A request doesn’t guarantee an invitation, a response time, or membership — groups decide for themselves.

Community organizations & resources

The Iranian American Cultural Society of the Midwest (IACSMW) is an independent local nonprofit serving the St. Louis Iranian community through cultural events, gatherings, and newcomer support.

We couldn’t verify a working official website for IACSMW in , so no external link is shown. If you have a current official source, send it through Contact for review.

External organizations are independent from Persia Gateway — please confirm current details, events, and meeting information with them directly.

Safety and consent

No raw Telegram, WhatsApp, Facebook, or other private-group invite links are published on Persia Gateway.

Please don’t submit member lists, private messages, or another person’s contact information without their clear permission.

Persia Gateway doesn’t administer or vet every external group, and can’t guarantee membership, conduct, safety, or outcomes.

Contact information is shared or published only through an appropriate reviewed path, and only with consent.

The Community Guidelines apply to everything here.
