The Association assists with the promotion, organisation and exchange of Slovene cultural groups worldwide, and has also collected a variety of material relating to the existence and work of over 1,550 Slovene immigrant clubs and associations worldwide. Its longest-standing contacts are the established Slovene clubs, associations and institutions in the USA, Canada, France and Belgium; these were supplemented in the late 1960s by newly-founded Slovene migrant groups in (then) West Germany, Switzerland, Australia and elsewhere. In more recent times contacts have been made with Slovene migrant groups (rather small groups) in South Africa and Kenya, and since 1991 also with numerous Slovene clubs in parts of the former Yugoslav Federation.
Since 1956 has staged the very popular annual Get together in our Homeland and the Trek to Mount Triglav.
The Slovene Emigrant Association has published the monthly magazine Slovenija.Svet [Slovenia.World] (formerly Rodna gruda [Domestic Soil] since 1954. Base on a public call the Government Office for Slovenes Abroad selected in 2006 a different publisher which conceived Moja Slovenija Magazine as a successor of the magazines above.
In 1987 it launched the English-language Slovenija, aimed at the children of Slovene migrants.
