Inspire social change and trigger personal growth by reconnecting both youth and adults to their heritage — this is the mission of the Greek American Heritage Society of Philadelphia. To do this, the organization is developing a cultural center and programming that allows all visitors, regardless of their background, to be inspired by the ground-breaking thinking of our ancestors and cultural heroes. The organization was founded as a non-profit in 2010 by Mary Creticos and seeks to bring the unbridled passion found in our Greek heritage into modern American values.
