Welcome to the New York Portuguese American Leadership Council (NYPALC), a 501c3 nonprofit at the forefront of unifying Portuguese-American, clubs, and businesses across New York State. Since our founding in 1971, we dedicated ourselves to promoting Portuguese culture and heritage, while advocating for civic engagement, community development, and the education of our youth. Our members, as intricate and beautiful as azulejos, embody the hard work and commitment that keeps the Portuguese-American community thriving. Together, along with our non-Portuguese speaking friends and families alike, we celebrate our rich history and look forward to a bright future!
