Hey Everyone,

Last Saturday’s outreach in the Central Valley was amazing!! Thank you to all who made it such a memorable event! The hosts at St. Gregory and St. Paul made it an extra special event! Special thanks to Tim Aivazian for raising some scholarship funds for CYMA-WD.

A lot of questions were asked about internships and the process for obtaining them. Now that we have 20+ applicants I wanted to take some time to address this to ensure that we are all on the right track.

The mission of the internship program at CYMA-WD is to have participants connect with Hayastan through daily interaction with the socio-cultural, religious, and professional life of Armenia. But where and what exactly is that?

We have teamed up with Birthright Armenia and the Armenian Volunteer Corps to ensure that we place our interns at the best places in Armenia. Internship placements are designed to give you an opportunity to intern in an area that you planning to start a career in or are very interested in learning more about. This experience gives you skills that are unbeatable on your resume or CV and can start you off in the right direction or down a new path. And of course, you will be able to directly connect with your homeland and bring back of the new knowledge and insight into Armenia while making a lasting impression on your friends and colleagues back in Armenia.
Here are some of the categories of internships:

Arts/Architecture

Business

Christian Education

Environment

Governmental

Health/Medicine

Human Rights

IT Sector

Media/Marketing/PR

Research and Public Policy

Religious Training

Social Welfare
