A new program is being offered by the Polish organization, “Wspolnota Polska”, that hopes to acquaint American teens of Polish heritage with the country of their roots.

The PRCUA has been asked to select 4 members to participate in the program. Participants will tour Poland for two weeks learning about Polish heritage, art, culture, architecture and everyday life in Poland.

This opportunity is open to PRCUA members between the ages of 12-15 , who have never previously visited Poland and who do not speak Polish.

The trip will take place from July 12 – 24, 2009. Members interested in attending must have a valid U.S. passport. The cost of accommodation, meals and tour fees are covered by the Polish government. Program participants are asked only to pay the cost of airfare. A roundtrip ticket to Poland from Chicago, IL is $1,200. However, the Polish American Congress Charitable Foundation is donating $400 to the cost of each ticket, so the final cost to each participant is $800 roundtrip. The group will be chaperoned and guided by English speakers.

If you are interested in participating, please send your Name, Address, Phone number and email address by May , 15th 2009 to:
