Founded in 2013, BAPA provides professional,
personal, and educational development opportunities for Bosnian Americans. We empower professionals to network in their industries, gain valuable connections, and develop transferable skills.
We also believe that education is the first step toward success. That’s why we offer scholarships and workshop opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students.
Additionally, BAPA platforms Bosnian leaders from various industries by inviting them to our annual forum to share their stories. We love to see our community succeed!
BAPA’s primary purpose is to provide networking opportunities for fellow Bosnian Americans. We foster professional growth for Bosnians in the diaspora through community outreach, mentoring programs, online and in-person networking opportunities, and a scholarship fund. Empowering Bosnian Americans is our #1 priority!
Here at BAPA, we envision growing our organization so that it’s as inclusive as possible. This means we assist Bosnian Americans in all stages of their careers, from students navigating the educational system to working professionals wanting to gain new skills and connections.
Our scholarships provide much-needed financial support to Bosnian American students. Through financial aid, we help students pursue higher education, unlocking a world of opportunities for them. By alleviating the financial burden of tuition fees and other educational expenses, BAPA supports the next generation of Bosnian American professionals.
