Gearing up for its Centennial Celebrations, AGBU has launched a revamped website that will provide up-to-date info on events and news.
To complement AGBU.org, we have created this e-newsletter that will summarize the world of AGBU and deliver it monthly to your inbox.
The first international centennial celebration will be hosted in Egypt on April 12th and our global network of Armenian youth is eagerly anticipating the World Games & YP Conference in Beirut at the end of July. Other large-scale festivities are being planned in Paris for the 84th General Assembly this December and a wrap-up celebration in Yerevan set for April 2007.

New Interactive AGBU Website & E-Newsletter Launched
AGBU has launched an improved and more user-friendly website that will help all users quickly access up-to-date information about the organization’s events, news, listings and application forms. Launched in early February and still operating under the same web address, AGBU.org responds to the growing role of the internet in the lives of Armenians around the world and continues AGBU’s mission to preserve and promote the Armenian heritage by reaching more constituents and supporters than ever before.
The new site will include e-commerce functionality that will allow AGBU members to pay membership fees, make donations and shop online 24 hours a day (to be launched February 16). While the site is reorganized, all of the most popular favorites remain, including an archive of AGBU News magazine, a complete database of AGBU press releases and downloadable Scholarship and Intern Program application and renewal forms.
