A reflection on the AYF Internship in Armenia

From a young age, I have heard people praise the AYF Internship in Armenia and the lasting impact it leaves on alumni of the program. With college coming to a close and adult life right around the corner, I knew the upcoming summer would be my only chance to participate in the nine-week immersive program. From the day I started my application to the day I left for Yerevan, I felt a mixture of excitement and apprehension — excited for the journey ahead yet nervous about the unknowns.




What beautiful dresses and costumes!

It is true that when you join the AYF, you not only join young people your age, but their parents and you stay friends forever. It is a wonderful and strong base to have as you start your adulthood. God Bless all the AYFers, Past, Present, and many Futures.
