Australian-Armenian students at the AGBU Alexander Primary School test out the new playground facilities inaugurated last month at the AGBU School in Sydney, Australia. |
Next month, the summer season begins in the northern hemisphere, and AGBU has a wide array of programs for Armenian youth eager for a fun-filled break from school. From camps to trips to Armenia, there is something for every young Armenian.
Always ready, regardless of season, the Young Professionals (YPs) continue to be a driving force in AGBU and this year three new groups joined the global network, bringing the total number of groups to 17.
Recently, AGBU News Magazine has been mailed to homes around the world (it is also available online at AGBU.org). The latest issue covers Holy Etchmiadzin 15 Years After Independence and reports on the aftermath of the Hrant Dink assassination.

Young Professionals Expanding by Leaps & Bounds
Established in 1995 in Los Angeles, California, the AGBU Young Professionals (YPs) have swelled to an impressive 17 groups around the world with the most recent additions in Toronto, Canada; Vienna, Austria; and Yerevan, Armenia. In ongoing conversations to establish even more groups in South America and the Middle East, the universal appeal of AGBU YPs has young Armenians between the ages of 22 to 40 clamoring to join.
The only Armenian young professionals program with a worldwide network that spans four continents, AGBU YPs are civic-minded, career-oriented individuals bound by one common mission - to perpetuate the Armenian identity. Inspiring their peers to get involved and stay involved, the open-door policy of AGBU YPs has garnered them a worldwide reputation for promoting a sense of community and belonging for young Armenians from all walks of life.
