Worcester “Aram” Senior & Junior Chapter

The Worcester “Aram” Senior & Junior Chapter is a historic youth organization serving the central Massachusetts diaspora as the very first official chapter of the Armenian Youth Federation (AYF-YOARF) in the world. Its central purpose is to cultivate a deep devotion to Armenian heritage, civic advancement, and community leadership among youth and young adults. Grounded in Worcester—the cradle of America’s first significant Armenian community—the chapter anchors its families at local centers like Holy Trinity Armenian Apostolic Church through educational seminars, grassroots activism, cultural preservation events, and a highly decorated legacy of participation in the annual AYF Olympics.
