Peace Corps Armenia spreads Volunteerism principles in provinces
YEREVAN, JULY 23, ARMENPRESS: Volunteerism initiative program is being
carried out in Armenian provinces, the goal of which is to increase
the competence on civic responsibility and voluntary work, the
involvement of voluntary service in improvement of communities in the
whole territory of Armenia. The program is implemented by Peace Corps
Armenia in collaboration with the Civic Development and Partnership
Foundation (CDPF) and 5 Armenian NGOs. The program is funded by the
USAID.
`Next year we intend to work with pupils,' head of the Classes
Department of the Peace Corps Armenia Nicholas Bruno said at
`Armenpress' press-hall during a meeting with journalists, noting that
a guide on volunteerism has been published with the efforts of the
corpse. According to N. Bruno, the volunteerism is well-developed in
Europe, and the Peace Corps in Armenia has been operating already for
18 years and has got over 90 volunteers. Yerevan has not been
involved, as here volunteerism is comparatively developed.
`The goal of the program is to increase the competence on
volunteerism. This program is implemented in Armenia for the first
time, and the volunteers are quite active,' Program coordinator of the
CDPF Lilit Hovhannisyan said stressing that as a result of the
implemented workshops the best young people have been selected who
will spread the principles of volunteerism.
As a result of the implementation of the program, the organizers look
forward to strong communities, competent residents, who will be ready
to do something good for their community, as well as for 30 voluntary
activities and continuation of voluntary works.
