The Lithuanian American Community, Inc. (LAC) has about 60 local
chapters in 27 states and the District of Columbia. We encourage
entrepreneurial individuals to form new LAC chapters where there
presently are none.
Since its founding in 1951, LAC has sought to preserve the Lithuanian
cultural identity for future generations. LAC is also in the forefront
of fostering the growth of the democratic institutions of the country
of our heritage and of assisting Lithuania in numerous other ways.
LAC seeks, welcomes, and involves in its activities all individuals of
Lithuanian descent as well as their non-Lithuanian spouses.
LAC is part of the Lithuanian World Community, an organizational
network embracing Lithuanians in over 41 countries.
The Lithuanian American Community:
- organizes educational, cultural, religious, community, social, and
sports activities, - works in close cooperation with Lithuanian institutions, businesses
and organizations, - promotes Lithuanian culture in the U.S. and provides information to
Americans about Lithuania, - works to safeguard human and civic rights,
- actively supports strengthening democracy and economic reform in
Lithuania, - fosters interaction among Lithuanians within the United States and
around the world.
