Turks & Albanians of Macedonia Inc. is a non-profit organization founded, led and run by young people. We aim to preserve our unique Balkan culture for future generations by uniting those of us with a common background and engaging in cultural activities.
We organize and participate in many different types of events through out the year. We have had great success in putting together wonderful bayram parties and getting together for iftars during the month of Ramadan. We have also organized trips to museums, have participated in parades and regularly have our own New Year's party. Our most popular events are the annual picnics which take place in the summer.
