As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, we have a powerful opportunity to celebrate our nation’s story by strengthening the international friendships that helped shape it.

Eagle-Orzel Educational & Cultural Exchange brings together students, teachers, artists, and communities in the United States and Poland through life-changing, face-to-face interactions. These programs foster greater understanding, deepen respect, and honor the shared heritage that links our two nations.

Participants don’t just learn about another culture — they learn with one another in an authentic setting. Classrooms are enriched. Perspectives expand. Lifelong friendships are formed.

Thanks to our generous supporters, more than 1,000 Polish and American students and educators have already experienced the impact of Eagle-Orzel programs.

“I was able to see Poland, the land of my ancestors, for the first time… and work with some of the most talented and ambitious children I have ever met. I will be returning to Poland with Eagle-Orzel as soon as possible.”
— Natalie Wolanin, American Volunteer
