About Active Citizenship

In January 2012, the U.S. Embassy in Hungary launched an initiative to recognize active citizenship. Throughout the year and across the country, Ambassador Kounalakis recognizes citizens and organizations that are working to make a difference in their communities. Each month we feature the most recent recipient of the Ambassador’s Active Citizenship Award on our website and on the U.S. Embassy Budapest Facebook page. Ű
