Outreach
One of our priorities at the U.S. Embassy in Vilnius is to arrange opportunities for our diplomatic representatives to visit cities and regions throughout Lithuania and share their American experience local schools and organizations. In the past, we have arranged for our officers to discuss American foreign policy, the work of the United States government, and other aspects of American society, politics, and culture at a number of different schools, universities, and other organizations.
For this reason, the U.S. Embassy has established an outreach program, offering educational and other organizations a chance to hear from Americans specific topics of interest. Our goal is to provide opportunities to promote mutual cultural understanding between Americans and Lithuanians and to allow American diplomats to share their broad experience with Lithuanians.

- Secondary schools, colleges and university student groups;
