What a great start to 2008!


AGBU has already received a record number of applications for this year's New York Summer Intern Program and we are anticipating an equally record-breaking response to the Paris and Yerevan programs. If you know anyone interested in participating in these great programs, tell them to apply now, since applications are due February 18, 2008.


This year, AGBU has also opened a new scout camp in Dilijan, Armenia, which will welcome hundreds of youth for the first time this summer. All in all, summer 2008 promises to be a dynamic season in Armenia and AGBU is helping to expose Armenian youth to the homeland more than any other organization.


For those of you eager to get frequent English news updates from Armenia, we've begun posting the AGBU Armenia News Bulletin on the AGBU BLOG. Prepared by the AGBU Yerevan office, the Bulletin summarizes some of Armenia's biggest stories in politics, business, sports and culture.
