Heritage. Education. Connection.
Building bridges between the Lebanese diaspora and the homeland through impactful programs.
Lebanon & Beyond (L&B) seeks to revitalize both Lebanon and its worldwide diaspora through innovative educational programs that strengthen enduring connections between the diaspora and the homeland.
As a global organization, L&B promotes creativity, diversity, and understanding between diaspora members and citizens living in Lebanon. The power for change lies in the love that the Lebanese in Lebanon and globally have for their homeland, and L&B works to channel that love into acts of learning and service.
