| By supporting education, the Hellenic American Leadership Council exemplifies its role as an institution committed to the future. The following organizations are selected to receive endowments from HALC because they exist not only to educate, but to continue to build a Hellenic stepping stone for future generations. |
Hellenic
Museum and Cultural Center |
Hellenic
American Academy |
Located
in the heart of Chicago's Greektown, the Hellenic Museum and Cultural
Center is the leading institution in the nation for preserving the
Greek immigrant experience and plays a key role in promoting our
rich culture. 
Continuing
the tradition of the Socrates School – the
United States’ first full time Greek school – the
Hellenic American Academy in Deerfield offers a full time bi-lingual
school, two part time Greek schools (Socrates Saturday School
and St. Kosmas Evening School), Greek dance, theater and music
programs, and study abroad opportunities. The Hellenic American
Academy is a major effort to perpetuate Hellenism and Orthodoxy
through education, and stands as a unique opportunity to retain
the Greek language, teach Greek history and culture, and give
young Greek-Americans a common point of reference.
