Volunteers in Action

For Michigan native Meredith Derian-Toth, there were many factors that encouraged her to volunteer in Armenia. From learning the language and exposing herself to the culture to challenging herself in the Armenian lifestyle, and giving back, she was sure that volunteering would give her the perfect opportunity.

Meredith served at Ba rs Media and the Seda Ghazaryan Memorial Fund. While working at Bars Media, she was able to use some of her prior experience to help develop and implement a social media strategy, primarily with crowd marketing. Volunteering gave Meredith the opportunity to interact with local Armenians in their day to day lifestyle, as well as learn more about the people and their work.

Volunteers Spring into Community Service

May 17, 2011 AVC Volunteers Spring into Community ServiceServing Armenia through Volunteerism Yerevan, Armenia—Armenian Volunteer Corps (AVC) volunteers have turned spring into a season full of community service, complementing the service they already bring as part of volunteering in Armenia. Early this spring, AVC volunteers helped paint a classroom and hallways at the middle school in Nor Kyugh, a village just outside of Yerevan where students from the SOS-Children's village attend school. Volunteers and students from the school also helped clean the school grounds. This community service project helped beautify the areas where the children spend their time, both indoors and outdoors and provided an opportunity for volunteers to give back and learn about the SOS-Children’s Village and their involvement in the community.
