Then Reconnect Hungary is the perfect community for you. Enjoy all these benefits and gain a once in a lifetime experience with the Hungarian Birthright Program.

Since 1976, the New York-based Hungarian Human Rights Foundation has been working hard to deepen Hungarian-American connections. On the basis of this principle, they created the unmissable educational and social immersion program, the Hungarian Birthright Trip. The special educational program is from the mastermind of Allison Pataki, a New York Times best-selling author, whose primary mission is to provide an opportunity for young adults of Hungarian-American origin to learn more about their Hungarian roots and deepen their knowledge about the local culture and heritage.
