We are grateful to the many considerate donors who facilitate the continual growth of our fund.
The Armenian Youth Foundation has sought to grant resources to valuable programs that benefit Armenian-American youth nationwide. We encourage the growth and expansion of various cultural, educational, athletic, and camping programs that give our youth opportunities to connect with one another, while learning to examine and embrace their culture. We believe each and every one of us has the ability to help support the positive development of our community’s children.
