Armenian Volunteer Corps

Serving Armenia through volunteerism

Following centuries of nearly continuous foreign domination, a free and independent Armenia was reborn on September 21, 1991. Confronting the legacy of genocide, natural disaster, war, emigration, and the transition from a post-Soviet economy, Armenia has made tremendous progress in the years since independence.

Much, however, remains to be done, and the Armenian Volunteer Corps provides innumerable service opportunities for those willing to meet the rewarding challenges of nation building. Living and working in Armenia is not simply fulfilling – it is an investment in the future of the Armenian nation.

AVC’s motto – come move mountains – is achieved each day by the extraordinary efforts of our dedicated volunteers.

AVC Volunteers Spring into Community Service
Serving 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.
