KLAS is one of the first Serbian socially focused organizations serving Chicago land area which relies primarily on community-driven approach to provide services and support to those in need.

 

We are serving as a resource between members of our community who are facing hardships and those who are willing to offer their help.

 

We, at KLAS, believe in the extraordinary power of our resilient community to unite, empower, and help members of our Serbian community and others in need. Rooted in our beliefs in collective action and collective responsibility, we strive to provide life-improving services and life-enriching experiences where they are needed most. We take great pride in our offerings and in our unique ability to help people by providing essential information, education, and support while nurturing the sense of community. 

​

Assistance and activities we provide will focus on these four main pillars of our mission: 

• Social & Medical Benefits Information 

• Educational & Informative Events

• Community & Cultural Promotion 

• Support & Hardship Assistance 

 

Our work is made possible by generosity of many extended members and supporters, guided by our Orthodox Christian values and the innate understanding that we must take care of our neighbors as ourselves.
