AC Belarus
For more than 25 years, American Councils in Belarus has maintained a vital link between qualified, seasoned professionals and Belarusian citizens interested in pursuing academic and professional opportunities throughout the world. The office was among the first international NGOs to open in Minsk 1993, with regional offices subsequently established in Brest, Homiel, Mahilyow and Viciebsk. These offices were consolidated in 2003 (Minsk, Homiel, and Mahilyow) and then closed in 2008. American Councils Belarus moved offsite to Lithuania in 2009, re-establishing a permanent office presence in 2015 and has since been expanding program activity throughout the Baltics.
