Welcome!
The Armenian Volunteer Corps is Armenia's premier volunteer placement organization, helping volunteers from around the world, 21 years of age and older, to find fulfilling service opportunities for terms of one month up to one year, in Yerevan and throughout Armenia.
AVC volunteers serve year-round in non-profit organizations, schools and universities, and businesses in such sectors as architecture, education, PR and marketing, tourism, healthcare, agriculture, the environment, engineering, community development, or a variety of other internship possibilities.
Whether looking for a professional, career-oriented placement, or perhaps something less formal, AVC offers flexibility and options.
AVC’s motto – come move mountains – is achieved each day by the extraordinary efforts of our dedicated volunteers. Join us!

Andres Gonzalez Kazazian (Chile)
Andres Nerses Gonzalez Kazazian became AVC’s first volunteer from Chile when he arrived to spend his two and a half month summer vacation (winter in Armenia) volunteering. In Chile, Andres is involved in many service projects at school and stays involved in his local community as well.
Andres split his time between the Civilitas Foundation and Centro Hispano. At Civilitas Foundation Andres was able to help explore and reach out to the South American-Armenian community by contacting various organizations, institution, and individuals. He was able to contact Armenians in communities where the Armenian population was scarce. This was something exciting for him, as he is from a relatively small Armenian community in Chile as well.
