Youth
Status of Armenian Schools in the Eastern Region
OVERVIEW
The Central Language Council (CLC) is a newly-formed central council of the Armenian Youth Federation–Youth Organization of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (AYF-YOARF) Eastern Region. Its mission is to empower Armenian youth through the promotion of Armenian language use. As the representative of youth within the vibrant and evolving Armenian language space, CLC has a lot to learn from established organizations and institutions already working to cultivate our mother tongue in the diaspora.

Excellent work!!
I think the leaders of these schools should be sent to the West coast ARMENIAN schools for professional and social development. Some of the pedagogical strategies at KZV ARMENIAN school in San Francisco are using 21st century skills and perhaps the east coast schools would benefit by sending the Armenian language teachers to San Francisco and LA to observe the excellent ARmenian instruction in the prelacy schools.
Thanks for this survey information. Considering there are so few Armenian high schools and there is such a severe drop in Armenian language retention among alumni of Armenian elementary and middle schools, I think those schools should seriously consider establishing after school Armenian language programs for their alumni.
