CYMA @ St. Paul/St. Gregory
Hello to all,
This weekend the CYMA will be visiting the Central Valley… at 1pm on Saturday, 24 Feb. in Fowler we will be giving our presentation about the upcoming CYMA trip! This meeting is for parents and all Armenian Youth interested in spending some time in Hayastan this upcoming summer. This is our 4th year as the CYMA program and it is already shaping up to be the best. Currently CYMA is accepting applications for its 2007 program. We are offering a two week pilgrimage and an eight week internship program.
Pilgrims will travel to the most breath taking spiritual and historical sites throughout Armenia and Artsakh. The Spiritual Pilgrimage is designed to be an extraordinary time to learn and discover the Armenian identity in our spiritual and ancestral homeland.
Pilgrims will travel throughout Armenia visiting special locations, lead by a clergyman of the Western Diocese as well as our CYMA Coordinator. This trip is perfect for first time visitors as well as those who have been to Armenia before and did not have the opportunity to fully travel the country.
The 2007 Internship Program
The CYMA Internship Program allows young adults an opportunity to experience daily living in Armenia through an internship in a professional setting. The internship will provide participants with insightful experiences regarding their field of study, future career goals, and more in depth experiences of life in Armenia.
Lectures from members of various organizations will provide fundamental lessons regarding the economic, cultural and religious dynamics present in Armenia today. Participants will also gather on a weekly basis to discuss incorporating our Christian lives into our daily life, both while in Armenia and upon return. Internships will be placed on a first come first serve basis.
If you are interested in joining us, you can apply for the 2007 CYMA-WD program HERE. Questions, or comments or want to hangout with us…. join us at St. Gregory, Fowler at 1pm on 24 Feb.
