Who we are<\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”a71a5122-3537-4d1b-aa15-649fe0057a23″ text_font=”Work Sans||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.8em” width=”98.5%” custom_margin=”|24px||||” custom_padding=”|20px||||” text_font_size_tablet=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Founded in 1971 by Ukrainian immigrants, the Ukrainian Association of Washington State (UAWS) emerged as a pivotal force in promoting Ukrainian culture in the Pacific Northwest. Initially known as The Ukrainian American Club of Washington<\/a>, it was established with a threefold mission: to advocate for Ukraine, educate U.S. communities about the hardships endured under Soviet occupation, and celebrate Ukrainian heritage. Over five decades, UAWS evolved into a dynamic 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, becoming one of Ukraine\u2019s oldest cultural diplomacy vehicles.<\/p>\n

The association remained committed to its founding principles through dedication and periodic reinvention. In 2010, UAWS achieved a significant milestone by becoming a tax-exempt organization under IRS Code Section 501(c)(3) in Washington State. This legal recognition further solidified its dedication to serving the Ukrainian-American community. With its newfound legal status, UAWS has expanded its reach, offering diverse programs to enhance cultural awareness and foster unity among Ukrainians throughout the United States, ensuring a lasting legacy for generations to come.<\/p>\n

Throughout these years, we established our local dance ensemble, \u201cBarvinok,\u201d<\/a> and choir, \u201cSerpanok.<\/a>\u201d These artistic ensembles have helped spread awareness of our beautiful culture through various concerts and festivals.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Response to the Russian Invasion<\/b><\/p>\n

Since the Russian invasion in 2014, UAWS has played an active role in helping and supplying aid to Ukraine. After Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, UAWS quickly adapted and expanded our humanitarian aid capabilities, pivoting to a<\/span> humanitarian hub to collect, pack, and send emergency food, clothes, and emergency medical supplies for civilians and hospitals in Ukraine. We teamed up with <\/span>Medical Teams Worldwide <\/b>to help and supply aid to Ukraine.<\/span><\/p>\n

In light of the full-scale Russian aggression, in 2022, we established a humanitarian hub and have assisted Ukrainians affected by the war within and abroad through various humanitarian initiatives.<\/p>\n

Advocating on behalf of Ukraine<\/b><\/p>\n

We work with members of the Ukrainian community and supporters across Washington to plan and organize public events, such as rallies and demonstrations, that show solidarity with Ukraine and raise awareness about the ongoing war.<\/span><\/p>\n

The UAWS Advocacy was formed in 2014 as a response to the Russian invasion in the eastern parts of Ukraine, which threatens the integrity of a democratic country’s borders, as well as the Ukrainian community’s concern over the humanitarian and economic situations.<\/span><\/p>\n

UAWS Advocacy activists meet weekly with government representatives to champion Ukrainian issues to Washington State’s Congress members. We assist in organizing public events, rallies, and demonstrations and communicate with the media to ensure coverage. We show solidarity with Ukraine and raise awareness about the ongoing Russian war.<\/p>\n
