The Lancaster Italian Cultural Society was founded in 1998 as an all-volunteer nonprofit organization that embraces Italian history and culture. The five goals of the LICS are to promote and share an appreciation and awareness of the Italian culture and heritage, to develop an awareness of the contributions of Italians and Italian Americans to the development of the United States of America and the world, to sponsor artistic and cultural activities of Italian origin in the community, to promote a greater understanding of the social mores and the values of the Italian heritage in the community, and to develop a greater sense of pride in Italian Americans for their Italian heritage with a special emphasis upon educating Italian American youths, including sponsoring scholarships, awards, and special recognition for community service.
