Ukrainian Cultural and Educational Center: serving the community

by Marta Onuferko

PHILADELPHIA - The Ukrainian heritage is alive and well in Philadelphia, and helping it flourish is the Ukrainian Educational and Cultural Center, which next month begins its third year of service to the community. Located at 700 Cedar Road in suburban Philadel­ phia's Abington Township, the center is unique because it houses dozens of Ukrainian organizations and programs in one facility. Open seven days a week, it has become a common meeting place for Ukrainians of all ages. The center has several purposes, says Dr. Alexander Chernyk, president of the center's elected board of directors. They are: preserving the Ukrainian language, culture, and traditions; enhancing survival of the Ukrainian cultural community; and supporting and maintaining various programs to carry out those objectives. "Our goal is to service all or as many members of the Ukrainian community as possible," Dr. Chernyk states. "We have an unlimited potential for growth, physical as well as program-wise."

Various programs offered The Ukrainian Educational and Cultural Center in Abington Township.
