New York estonian house

Estonian Educational Society

The Estonian Educational Society (the New York Estonian House) is a volunteer organization whose goal is to further Estonian culture in New York and serve as a meeting place for Estonians from around the world. We are unable to provide help regarding accommodations, employment, or funding of projects.

The New York Estonian Educational Society was established on December 7, 1929. A meeting of various local Estonian organizations was convened to unify the Estonians in New York. 77 members were present, and the “Unified Estonian Organization” was created.

Since then, the Society has served as the center and focal point of Estonian activity in New York. Explore our website, check out our events, and let us welcome you to the House in the near future.

The New York Estonian Educational Society has a 9-member Board of Directors. On the ABOUT US page, you can find all information and contact details for the Board.
