A United Purpose
WE SEEK TO PRESERVE,
COMMUNICATE, AND CELEBRATE
LEBANON’S CULTURAL HERITAGE
Our Vision
The United States is home to the second largest Lebanese Diaspora community in the world, with more than two million residents of Lebanese descent and counting. The House of Lebanon (HoL) was conceived as a “home away from home” for all Lebanese in Southern California and beyond. HoL strives to remain a gathering place where older generations pass on their traditions and exchange their knowledge and experiences with newer generations of Lebanese Americans.
Our Mission
The House of Lebanon encourages and facilitates networking and uniting of Lebanese, Lebanese Americans, and Americans of Lebanese ancestry residing in the United States. By establishing a clear and strong identity for the Lebanese community in the States and offering a dedicated space for the exchange of ideas and cultures, HoL works to support a network of friendship and foster a sense of belonging and cooperation between the peoples of the United States and Lebanon.
Our Approach
The House of Lebanon welcomes people of all backgrounds to learn about Lebanese history and engage in its rich cultural heritage through its various programs, activities, and yearly calendar of events.
CULTURAL IMMERSION
HoL provides local and Lebanese communities with unique cultural experiences and a slate of educational and creative programs to help promote a greater sense of unity.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
HoL offers a strong professional network where all Lebanese Americans, descendants, and residents can seek mentorship and guidance from established industry leaders.
CONSTRUCTING IDENTITY
HoL acknowledges the challenges of representation and identity facing the current generation of Lebanese Americans. As such, it plans to host workshops and seminars to spark a dialogue that can enhance a sense of belonging among the Lebanese American youth.
COLLABORATIVE SPIRIT
HoL believes in the power of collaboration and active participation to inspire positive change in local communities, as it looks to promote a greater understanding of Lebanese culture and a deeper appreciation of the Lebanese traditions amongst the general public.
