Our Office and City

AC Romania is in Bucharest, a vibrant and colorful city situated on the banks of the Dambovita River. In the period between the two World Wars, the city's elegant architecture and the sophistication of its elite earned Bucharest the nickname of "Little Paris". According to the 2022 census, 2,162,281 inhabitants live only within the city limits. Bucharest is the sixth-largest city in the European Union by population within city limits.

In 2015, we launched AC Romania with one staff member at an office hosted at the Romanian American University. Today, our team of ten operates from the city center of Bucharest in an area called Victory Square.

AC Romania implements numerous programs sponsored locally by the US Embassy in Romania. Some of our programs have become a tradition, such as the Elie Wiesel Study Tour (six editions), Camp Kennedy (five editions), 4/4 For Friends (four editions), and others are still in their infancy: GOAL Camp (two editions), Kennedy Academy for Students (two editions).

We work with a variety of partners, such as the Israeli Embassy, The Embassy of Netherlands, The Embassy of Germany, the Embassy of Austria, the Ministry of Education, Youth Centers, ORACLE, McDonalds many local and national NGOs and and a dense network of schools, universities, and other key partners across Romania.
