AGBU Children’s Centers, located in Yerevan’s suburbs of Arapkir, Malatya, and Nork, are creating space for students to grow beyond the classroom. While many schools in Armenia face challenges such as overcrowding, shortened days, and limited funding for the arts and extracurriculars, these centers are stepping in to bridge the gap.

Through a dynamic afterschool curriculum including arts, sports, creative technologies, and programming, students are given the tools, experiences, and confidence to thrive.

Because every child deserves access to opportunity, creativity, and a well-rounded education📚🖍️
