Fund for Armenian
Relief (FAR): Young Professional's Trip to Armenia
This program affords young Armenian-American
professionals between the ages of 23 - 40 the opportunity
to travel to Armenia and Karabagh as a group to learn about
the country, meet and dialogue with important leaders, acquaint
themselves with Armenia’s place in the world—and
with her religious, artistic, political and economic achievements.
The objective is to match people’s specialty with
the same in Armenia so expertise is shared, and also includes
meetings, sightseeing, and humanitarian visits. This year’s
trip is 12 days total, June 12-26, and participants cover
all of their own expenses in total.
