Heritage Greece

2011- American College of Greece

The National Hellenic Society partnered with the American College of Greece, Europe's oldest and largest American-styled college, to implement Heritage Greece. Patterned after "Birthright Israel," Heritage Greece provides exceptional young Greek Americans an opportunity to reconnect with their Greek identity, learn about, appreciate and better understand their roots within the prism of modern Greece. Together with a peer group of Greek students from the American College of Greece, the students live and share their experiences and learn from one another. Heritage Greece is the only Greek American program that conducts a pre- and exit survey of its participants to measure the program's impact on their appreciation and understanding of their heritage and modern Greece. Eligibility for the program is open to college or university students of Hellenic ancestry between the ages of 18-26 with excellent academic credentials.
