In 2019, the National Hellenic Society is participating in our inaugural GivingTuesday campaign, with focus going towards the signature NHS Heritage Greece (HG) and Heritage America (HA) programs. And on this GivingTuesday, we’re asking for all of your help in supporting our incredible HG and HA programs.
The Heritage Greece program is a two-week cultural and educational immersion odyssey for accomplished Greek American college students who share their experience with a peer group of exceptional students from the American College of Greece (ACG) in Athens, Greece. The HG grogram’s goal is to reconnect the participants with their heritage, roots, language, history, and traditions. They have a once in a lifetime opportunity to explore their culture, as well as to identity and learn about the ancient past within the prism and context of modern Greece.
The NHS and Manatos & Manatos, a leading government relations and advocacy firm, collaborated to develop the NHS Heritage America program -- an experiential odyssey connecting Greek American college students to their Hellenic roots, heritage and culture within the domestic United States. Candidates selected for this program have the opportunity to meet a who's-who of Greek American decision makers, business leaders and other important contacts who will serve as future mentors and career guides for Heritage America alumni.
GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world on December 3, 2019 and every day. It was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past seven years, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
