For the last 10 years, the organization has offered educational and social support through sports, public work, and the teenager day club to children and youth who experience various difficulties. The Club is an important part of our grantee community because it represents some of the focus areas of the Foundation’s philanthropic work – youth inclusion and empowerment.
Dr. Joseph P. Kazickas’ visionary views toward the education of future generations have resulted in a partnership with Kaunas University of Technology, which has lasted for over 27 years.
Dr. Joseph P. Kazickas and Alexandra Kazickas had a visionary mission to ensure a better future for youth. Therefore, empowerment of young people plays an important role in the Kazickas Family Foundation activities.

Helping the young people get to know their roots and the people living here has opened many opportunities for them to participate in initiatives together and improve their understanding of Lithuania.
On October 19th, the Kazickas Family Foundation celebrated its 25th anniversary with a gala in Vilnius Town Hall. The goal of the event was to recognize the Foundation and its partners’ mutual accomplishments and to honor a few special organizations and people.
