The Ukrainian American Educational Center Inc.

The Ukrainian American Educational Center of Boston Inc. was established as a 501(c)(3) non-profit in 2008 and is continuing to serve the community by sponsoring events that are aligned with its mission including but not limited to, education, preservation and promulgation of Ukrainian culture, language, and heritage, through the establishment and maintenance of facilities, educational programs, and social services.
The UAEC of Boston is, whenever possible, open, and willing to partner with other organizations and groups to help further its mission.
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia the center has broadened its scope of activities to include several important initiatives that are aligned with its mission. These five initiatives listed below augment our core mission and give  our organization a unique opportunity to foster communication and to respond to community needs with a multifaceted approach.

• Bear Witness – Has taken a stand against the direct threat to democracy and human rights posed by Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. Using film and video, it highlights the heroes of this fight, documents war crimes, and keeps the world’s focus on this threat to freedom and human dignity.
