@america is the U.S. Embassy’s American Center located in Jakarta, Indonesia. Our mission is to provide a space for young Indonesians to learn more about the United States and to share ideas about issues that are important to both Americans and Indonesians.

In order for us to fulfill this mission, @america has established programming parameters that help us to highlight and increase connections between Indonesia and the United States. We welcome organization and representatives to hold an event in @america! With over 40+ events per month, we are excited to invite everyone to be a part of @america events in order to share more insightful events.

All programs are held in our classroom, exhibition, and performance areas. For a 360-degree tour of @america, click here. Our programs are video recorded and streamed live!
