Membership

Welcome to ACPC!
Witamy w ACPC!

Here’s why your organization should belong to the American Council for Polish Culture.

Membership in the American Council for Polish Culture provides the opportunity for people to become part of a network of communication which links them to the greater Polish-American community. It enables men and women to understand their own heritage as they join in the common effort to make all Americans aware of the Polish ingredient in the modern American mosaic.

  • Add to the unity and solidarity of Polish-Americans who are dedicated to increasing awareness of Polish culture, history, and traditions.
  • Build relationships with additional leaders and contributors to the Polish-American community, becoming a part of the “bigger picture”.
  • Expose your membership to Polish heritage and Polish-American history through our programs and projects.
  • Benefit from learning the activities of others to grow and strengthen your own organization.
  • Increase the visibility of your organization’s activities through articles/photos you submit to the ACPC’s tri-annual Polish Heritage newsletter.
  • Spread the awareness of your organization by having your website linked on ACPC’s website.
  • Visit significant Polish-American historical sites as part of our annual conventions and board meetings.
