Five years with the Armenian Volunteer Network
Five years ago, as the world began shutting down in the initial days of the pandemic, the Armenian Volunteer Network (AMVN) was born. It was an organic birth, based on a simple idea: we wanted to help Armenia, and we keenly felt that the best way to do that was by improving educational opportunities for our youth.
Armenia faces numerous challenges—it’s small, landlocked, located in a tough neighborhood and dependent on others for trade, energy and security. It may sound cliché, but it remains a simple truth: our greatest resource is our young people and their inquisitive minds.

What a great accomplishment by AMVN to create a volunteer group to support education of Armenians using talent from around the world! This is a heartwarming article and well written. Recognition goes to all the volunteers and endless hours of work by Kristina and Seroj Terian. I am confident AMVN will continue to grow and impact many more lives.
As an AMVN volunteer for over a year, I can attest to Mr. Terian’s words. Indeed, I give a small amount of my time each week but the appreciation of the students rewards that a thousand fold. Truly, the connections made with these high school and college age students has been so much more than expected. AMVN creates beautiful bridges between Armenia and the diaspora….yes, the students benefit from hearing a native English speaker, but my heart is filled, as well. Come join us!
