These programs are developed independently by the institution or in partnership with international educational and cultural organizations and aim to directly address emergent social or economic needs. Its non-profit status enables the institution to use income earned in its fee-bearing activities to subsidize a large number of free community-service activities and resources, such as its program of cultural events, its Library, youth outreach programs and teacher training seminars. On the other hand, its institutional culture and the fact that it receives no public or private grants or subsidies, means that the Hellenic American Union is governed by performance criteria generally found in the profit-making private sector. It is client-oriented and dedicated to providing high-quality, value-added services to its public.
