Becoming A Partner

Established in 2001, the Armenian Volunteer Corps supports volunteers aged 21+ (32+ Diasporans) in experiencing Armenia in the most impactful manner. We provide volunteers with individually customized job placements in a range of sectors spanning business, education, environment, culture, health, government, NGO, and more. Volunteers receive full logistical support including homestay, Armenian language classes, excursions, and much more to ensure they seamlessly integrate and uniquely discover Armenia.

 

If you’re ready to become a partner and benefit from the hundreds of volunteers that come for durations of two weeks to one year through AVC and our sister organization Birthright Armenia, then apply to become a partner at armenianvolunteer.org/organization-form. Due to some bugs, we ask that you submit the form using Internet Explorer. Currently the form does not work with any other browser. Once we receive the completed form, we will contact you as soon as we identify a solid volunteer match. This can happen the day after you submit the application, or it can take weeks, months, or even longer. Once we do identify a volunteer match, know that we ask each organization to provide the following information: 

  • A task list (or a general scope of volunteer service) for the volunteer
  • A supervisor/contact for the volunteer
  • A brief orientation for the volunteer at the start of service
  • Oversight of volunteer hours
  • Completion of required timesheets
  • A commitment to stay in maintain close contact with AVC during each volunteer’s service
  • Constructive feedback to volunteers about their work progress (good/bad)
  • Approval for AVC to photograph and/or video record volunteers at your organization for outreach purposes

Oqni
Our volunteer was one the best blessings for Oqni. She drafted a booklet that includes all the necessary information for amputees to feel in control of their lives, despite their terrible circumstances. She helped Oqni grow in ways that I couldn't even put into words. She is strong, humane, kind, and motivated and never said no to a challenge.

Orion - partner logos for AVC website
We were given a very passionate volunteer from the U.S. Isis joined our cause and became a fundamental teammate. Her communication skills, graphic creativity, and experience in project management were all necessary additions. She headed projects involving company engagements, high-level events, and content creations. Although she was with us for a short time, we saw her proactivity and ability to multi-task through her day-to-day work. In addition, her intuition and problem-solving skills were ideal when communicating with executives and leading meetings for our projects.

Central Bank
Our volunteer was very active, curious, and innovative. Her native Russian language skills and knowledge and experience in Economics positively impacted our research project greatly. We also plan to publish her research on the effectiveness of government policies' during the Covid-19 pandemic and promotion of financial inclusion in rural regions of Armenia.

Frontline Therapist - partner logos for AVC website
It has been a wonderful partnership working with Birthright and AVC as they have helped bridge volunteers to the Frontline Therapists team. We would not have met the professional and dedicated people that have supported us, some of whom ultimately became staff. Frontline Therapists will continue to be a safe and reputable place for volunteers to join and share their knowledge and expertise.

Arvestaran
At Arvestaran, our volunteers are a breath of fresh air. As many volunteers speak different languages and come from different cultures, we are forced to step out of our comfort zone and use a full spectrum of communication skills: through body language, singing, dancing, writing, and drawing. It’s during such experiences that we are able to establish our friendship. In recent years, Birthright and AVC volunteers have played a major role in the promotion and development of Arvestaran, as many things would not have been possible without them.

ISSD
"ISSD's experience with AVC has been extremely rewarding since day one. The volunteers who have joined ISSD helped us have a positive impact on both peoples’ lives and the environment. The international experience and they have brought has been invaluable for all our team members and stakeholders. It is especially amazing to see how our volunteers became full or part-time members/employees of our organization after their service, ultimately further promoting sustainable development in Armenia."
