Heads in the dirt

Yeva Grigoryan, originally from Gyumri, Armenia, resides in the Washington, D.C. area and is a senior at Oakton High School. Her heritage fuels her passion for public policy and international relations. Grigoryan serves as the vice president of the Armenian Christian Youth of America in D.C. and established a program that teaches Armenian dance, history and art at the Armenian Fine Arts and Culture Club at St. Mary’s Armenian Apostolic Church. Her enthusiasm for public policy led her to participate in the ANCA Kasparian Summer Academy, where she engaged in advocacy efforts on Capitol Hill for pro-Armenian legislation.
