2024 Armenia Service Program Recap

The Armenia Service Program (ASP) has a long history of providing young adults with a unique opportunity to affirm their faith, discover and connect with their homeland, and serve its people in a meaningful way. Participants return home enriched and inspired by their experience and eager to strengthen their bond with the homeland and their Church. ​

 

The 2024 Armenia Service Program was held from July 8 to July 29. Fr. Hakob Gevorgyan of Holy Trinity Armenian Church in Cheltenham, PA led the group of 24 participants from across the Eastern Diocese through our homeland for a fruitful journey filled with opportunities to serve and explore. Participants visited historical and cultural sites, prayed in ancient monasteries, worked on a Fuller Center house build, and spent five days at Camp Aragats -- a summer camp for underprivileged and orphaned children throughout Armenia, run by Fund for Armenian Relief. 

​

We were pleased to offer this wonderful experience at the reduced special rate of $1,700.00 for our participants thanks to the generosity of the Dadourian Foundation, ACYOA subsidies, and fundraising efforts. The full rate of the program is $2,850.00.
​
The program rate included all ground transportation and transfers in Armenia, lodging, all sightseeing tours with a bilingual (Armenian and English) tour guide, most meals over the twenty day itinerary, and more.
