Project Gettysburg Leon

Project Gettysburg-León (PGL) welcomes you, and looks forward to your joining our sister city partnership between the people of Gettysburg and Adams County, and  those in León, Nicaragua, the second largest city in the Western Hemisphere’s second poorest country (after Haiti).

Founded in 1986, PGL is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization registered in the state of Pennsylvania.

We are a grass-roots organization with programming in the department of León, Nicaragua.  PGL has an office and paid staff in the indigenous community of Sutiaba, and is officially recognized by the Nicaraguan government as a registered non-profit organization working within its borders and subject to its regulations, including an annual audit.

In Gettysburg an Executive Committee consisting of volunteer officers directs PGL’s overall program, maintaining regular contact with the in-country coordinator in León. Monthly meetings for PGL members are held September through June, and numerous activities, such as fund-raising initiatives, emanate from this group. PGL receives generous in-kind support from Gettysburg College and works through its Center for Public Service.
