United Russian-American Association
About United Russian-American Association
Serving Houston, Texas, the United Russian-American Association represents a vibrant community dedicated to preserving Slavic cultural heritage while building bridges between Russian-speaking families and the broader Houston region. Founded on the principle that cultural exchange enriches communities, URAA unites over 70,000 Russian-speaking residents in celebrating their traditions and sharing them with neighbors of all backgrounds. The organization's mission extends beyond cultural preservation to active community engagement—members volunteer hundreds of hours annually supporting local charities, schools, and civic events. What distinguishes URAA in the Houston community is its commitment to intergenerational cultural transmission, offering children's programs, family celebrations, and youth-focused activities alongside adult cultural events. The unique Puppet Theater KHOKHLOMA exemplifies this dedication, combining artistic excellence with accessible storytelling that appeals to diverse audiences. From children's Christmas celebrations to Russian Veterans Day memorials, from International Women's Day observances to participation in Houston's Consular Ball, URAA creates meaningful opportunities for families to live, work, and grow together while honoring their heritage. The organization's collaborative spirit is evident in its partnerships with local theaters, schools, and cultural institutions throughout Houston and Dallas, demonstrating a genuine commitment to enriching the entire community's cultural landscape rather than serving only within a single ethnic group.
