    Thirty-five young AYF Juniors took their oaths to become members of
    the AYF

    GLENDALE--Thirty-five Armenian Youth Federation Juniors joined the
    ranks of the AYF on Saturday during an oath ceremony that took place
    at the Glendale Youth Center.

    The AYF - Western United States, along with the Juniors Central Council
    and the AYF Glendale "Roupen" Chapter, held an educational workshop the
    same morning for the 35 young activists that transferred to the AYF.

    "The JCC body is so proud of the 35 AYF Juniors that have worked so
    hard to be here today," said Saro Shirinian, chairperson of the JCC.

    During the workshop, the Juniors transfers received a hands-on
    educational regarding AYF and ARF history, as well as a review of
    important dates and events. The workshop was organized by the AYF
    Central Executive and led by the Central Executive.

    The transfers were then faced with a teambuilding and leadership
    challenge where they were given the opportunity to work and compete
    with one another. Aram Kaloustian, youth advisor to the AYF, concluded
    the workshop with a brief educational on the subject of what it is
    to be an Unger within the organization.

    Upon completion of the educational workshop, Dr. Talar Chahinian
    administered the oath ceremony for the 35 bright and eager transfers.

    Chahinian welcomed the new members to the organization, recounting
    her days as an AYF member.

    "It is always such an amazing feeling to watch such a large group of
    juniors take their AYF oath," said Hrache Novruzyan of the AYF CE.

    "The group of AYF Juniors we had transferring this year are all
    very active in their respective communities and shared fresh new
    ideas with us throughout the educational workshop. I can say with
    confidence that our future is in good hands."

    Founded in 1933, the Armenian Youth Federation is the largest and
    most influential Armenian American youth organization in the world,
    working to advance the social, political, educational and cultural
    awareness of Armenian youth.
