AHEPA

AHEPA – The American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association

Founded in Atlanta, Georgia, on July 26, 1922, AHEPA’s mission was to support Greek immigrants in America by promoting citizenship, cultural assimilation, and combating prejudice, particularly from the Ku Klux Klan. Today, AHEPA continues to uphold Hellenic ideals of education, philanthropy, civic responsibility, and excellence through community service and volunteerism.

Our local AHEPA chapter is committed to fostering brotherhood, guided by Christian values and a deep sense of responsibility. We proudly donate 100% of funds raised to support our church, its ministries, and our local community.
