About Us

We are a diverse group of individuals from the Philadelphia area united by our shared interest in the people and nations of the Americas.

Our members come from all walks of life and represent countries throughout the Western Hemisphere. Among us are educators, political scientists, diplomats, business and community leaders, students, and concerned citizens.

As members of the Pan American Association, we are dedicated to expanding our understanding of the Western Hemisphere, fostering meaningful connections, and celebrating the rich social and cultural diversity of our neighboring nations.

Throughout the year, we host a variety of events that are open to members and their guests. These gatherings explore the political, social, and cultural landscapes of the Americas, offering valuable insights and opportunities for personal growth and international friendship.

Annual competitive scholarships and a variety of awards are given to students excelling in Latin American studies at local colleges, recognizing their academic achievements and commitment to the region.

Engage with expert guest speakers who discuss key political, social, and cultural issues affecting the Americas, fostering insight and meaningful conversations about the Western Hemisphere.

Join us for seasonal parties and cultural gatherings that bring members together, build lasting connections, and support our scholarship and educational programs through fundraising.

We collaborate with a range of organizations involved in educational, social, and cultural initiatives across the Americas, as well as local Philadelphia community groups.
