History

Established in 2007.

Over 17 years ago, three young teenagers found themselves about to embark on a journey filled with culture, new beginnings and a friendship to last a lifetime. Separate coasts did not break up this trio.

They started to travel back and forth from coast to coast. NY would visit LA’s Croatian festivals. LA would come and visit NY for numerous concerts and New Year’s events. Together they would travel to soccer tournaments and kolo festivals. The next few years were spent on airfares, meeting new people and truly learning about their culture. Politics aside, their ethnicity became their passion.

Welcome to the birth of the CNYLA. A membership built around the passion of where you come from and keeping your roots alive. Our objective is not only to promote education and unity amongst young professionals, but also teach and become an example to the next generation. With all of our separate communities joining together, we can accomplish that goal.
