The Carlentini Omaha Association USA, Inc. (COA-USA) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in March 2024.

 

We are dedicated to strengthening the enduring bonds between Omaha, Nebraska; Carlentini, Sicily; and communities beyond through cultural exchange, education, heritage preservation, and travel.

​

Our mission is to preserve and celebrate our shared heritage while fostering meaningful connections across generations and borders. Through genealogical research, historical walking tours, educational initiatives, cultural programs, and community events, we bring history to life and create opportunities for individuals and families to discover, appreciate, and celebrate their ancestral roots.

​

Working collaboratively with schools, cultural institutions, historical organizations, and community partners, COA-USA promotes international friendship, youth diplomacy, and educational exchanges that encourage mutual understanding and lifelong connections.

​

We believe that understanding our history strengthens our sense of belonging and inspires future generations. By honoring the sacrifices, traditions, and stories of those who came before us, we build bridges of friendship, discovery, and cultural understanding that extend far beyond geographical boundaries.

​

Honoring our past. Connecting our communities. Inspiring future generations.
