The Internship
The AYF ER began the Internship in Armenia program in 1992 to encourage Armenians in the Diaspora to visit and volunteer in Armenia. Over the past 25 years, the AYF has sent over 165 participants to the Homeland. The Internship in Armenia program turns the Homeland into a reality by exposing interns to the people and culture of present-day Armenia. Interns are placed in roles specific to their interests to help advance their professional goals while lending their time to their homeland. Interns live together for the summer and tour the country during time off from work.
