Our Story: Since 1865

Sokol came to the United States via Czech-land immigrants in 1865. Well into its second century, Sokol continues today around the world as a vital, thriving entity dedicated to both youth and adults participating in its programs, the local communities served, and the physical, mental, and cultural advancement of its members.

Sokol Greater Cleveland is THE non-profit organization registered with the State, representing the Slavic physical & gymnastics movement.**

The Czech Cultural Center represents/showcases the ethnic traditions and heritage of the Czech, Bohemian, Moravian, Slovak, Rusyn peoples of what was historically the Czech lands.  It includes The Sokol movement, but also differentiated from it.
Bohemian National Hall is a grand old building (built by Czech emigrants) on the National Register of Historical Buildings and the home of both SGC & the Czech Cultural Center.

**Wikipedia:  “The movement also spread across all the regions populated by Slavic cultures, most of them part of either Austria-Hungary or the Russian Empire: present-day Slovakia, the Slovene LandsCroatiaSerbia (SK Soko), BulgariaPoland (Sokół), UkraineBelarus. In many of these nations, the organization also served as an early precursor to the Scouting movements. “

Our Mission & Vision

American Sokol is a multi-faceted organization guiding its members throughout life from early youth through maturity, to physical and moral health, good citizenship and responsible patriotism, combined with continuous self-improvement.
