AHEPA members are proud of the contributions the ancient Greeks gifted to Western Civilization. As Americans, we share many of the values put forth by them: civic responsibility, philanthropy, education, family and individual excellence, and the ideals of democracy.
This is the essence of our heritage. This is the core of our mission.

An important component of AHEPA's mission is to create an awareness of the principles of Hellenism to society. These principles include a
commitment to humanity, freedom, and democracy.
Philanthropy and volunteerism have been pillars of strength for AHEPA. From natural disaster relief to raising funds for the elimination of
life-threatening diseases to making significant contributions to our local neighborhoods, AHEPA is at the forefront of charitable giving.
Our grassroots has a strong voice. With chapters in every major metropolitan city and in rural areas of North America, AHEPA communicates the
positions of the Greek-American community to elected representatives at the federal, state, and local levels, as well as to our diplomatic leaders.
What makes AHEPA unique from other organizations is the creation of the AHEPA Family. Together with three affiliated organizations, the AHEPA
Family works as a unit toward the fulfillment of a common mission.
