    Full Circle

    "Education is, by far, my priority. It’s the single, greatest enabler for any person in the Diaspora, but also in Armenia. The greatest gift we can give the next generation is allowing them to learn and flourish."

    Motivated and Engaged
    "Besides equipping me with strategies and tactics of centered leadership that I try to apply every day, the Goriz program also inspired me to take an Armenian angle in pursuit of my other interests, to attach a meaningful purpose to them."

    • AGBU Camp Nubar taught me life skills that I still use to this day. I serve on both the Camp Nubar and AGBU Young Professionals of Greater New York committees because I want to give every young Armenian the chance to grow and develop into the person they’re meant to be. I am grateful to be in a position to help others be a part of something that is bigger than ourselves.
      Armen Shamamian, AGBU Camp Nubar Alumnus
      New York, USA
    • AGBU came to my rescue in my hour of need, and I still remember how I felt – like I hit the jackpot! I give back to AGBU and take the baton from previous generations and will pass it onto the future generations to come. With each donation I make, I continue the legacy of AGBU.
      Tigran Kurdiyan, AGBU Scholarship Alumnus
      London, United Kingdom
    • AGBU has been the only constant in my life since I was a child – nurturing me personally, professionally and as an Armenian. Now I volunteer as a Chapter and AGBU Young Professionals leader because I’m committed to building a place that leaves a mark on future generations of Armenians in South America.
      Ari Chamlian, AGBU Colegio Nubarian, Scouts and Athletics Alumnus
