NEW Ryfa Network just launched on iPhone & Android
Dobrodošli
Download Ryfa, record a 60-second intro in Slovenian or English, introduce your business, and build your network with Slovenian business owners and professionals across the US.
About 175,000–180,000 Americans report Slovenian ancestry, and estimates including mixed heritage reach 300,000.
Greater Cleveland is home to the largest Slovenian population anywhere outside Slovenia, rooted in St. Clair Avenue, Collinwood, Euclid and Newburgh. Pittsburgh, Chicago (and nearby Joliet and Lemont), Milwaukee–West Allis, Minnesota's Iron Range and Pueblo, Colorado are historic centres.
Slovenian Americans are a long-established, mostly multi-generation community. Today they're business owners, tradespeople and professionals, and heritage institutions like national homes, fraternal societies and polka culture keep the network alive.
Community life centres on Slovenian national homes, Catholic parishes, fraternal benefit societies, choirs and polka clubs. BABO doesn't replace any of it. It gives the business owners in those communities one place to find each other, trade referrals and meet.
