The American Hungarian Educators Association (AHEA) is a professional and scholarly organization devoted to the teaching and dissemination of Hungarian culture--history, folklore, literature, language, fine arts, music and scientific achievements.

The Association provides opportunities for those interested in Hungarian studies and Hungarian heritage to further these interests by

• actively supporting ethnic and multicultural programs to broaden awareness, within the United States, of Hungarian contributions to civilization;
   
• deepening the appreciation for Hungarian culture among Americans of Hungarian origin
   
• encouraging the maintenance of the Hungarian language and Hungarian studies in English.

The AHEA is open to cooperation with all groups interested in supporting Hungarian culture and Hungarian studies within the United States and Canada, as well as Central European countries with large indigenous
Hungarian minorities.
