Youth Corps is My Comeback

An AYF Youth Corps session in Askeran, Artsakh, 2015

I’ve been to Armenia twice with my family (2004 and 2006) and once with my 11th grade class in 2011. The last time I went, I stayed a couple of extra weeks and volunteered at Orran, a center for at-risk children in Yerevan. Those two weeks could’ve been spent back in California lounging by a pool and spending time with friends, but the moment I stepped into Orran I knew that I’d return to Hayasdan soon to connect with and help the children of my motherland.
