This summer Lithuanian diaspora youth had a chance to rediscover modern Lithuania, learn more about its history and culture, get to know the Lithuanian business world and career opportunities. Most importantly, the unique experience with the "Bring Together Lithuania" program encouraged youth to become young Ambassadors of Lithuania.

We're glad to announce that the Kazickas Family Foundation partnered with TGS BALTIC, a top-tier commercial law firm with offices in all the Baltic countries.

Since then nine Fellows from Lithuania already had a chance to advance their academic experience at Yale, including Spring 2020 Fellows, Vytautas Kuokstis and Stanislovas Stasiulis, who faced unexpected challenges and were forced to return home early due to COVID-19.
