Grassroots Volunteering in Armenia

The organisations listed below have either got in touch with us to add their details to this or another of our websites, or we otherwise have reason to believe they are actively looking for international volunteers and charge reasonable or no fees to join in, live and work with them:

Armenian Volunteer Corps
www.armenianvolunteer.org

AVC’s Volunteer Corps invites volunteers aged 21 to 31 to volunteer in Armenia for between one month and one year, to serve in a job placement of their own choosing. Placements are available year round in a wide variety of sectors and organisations, including business, education, environmental sciences, arts and culture, finance, health, and governmental and non governmental agencies.

AVC also have a programme for working professionals, aged 32 up to 59, who have a minimum of five years of work experience and a keen desire to share their expertise and make a difference in Armenia. There is also a Senior Corps encouraging accomplished professionals, aged 60+, to utilize their immense knowledge and experience to support Armenia’s further development.

Where: Volunteers work in Yerevan and throughout Armenia. The most active locations aside from Yerevan are Gyumri, Vanadzor and Shushi.
Accommodation & Costs: There is no registration fee to join AVC but accepted applicants without adequate health insurance coverage for Armenia will be asked to join their group health insurance plan at around $15 a month. Double that if you are aged 65+. Working Professionals and Senior Corps volunteers that wish to stay less than a month can do so by paying an addtional fee of around $200. Volunteers generally live with a host family, though can make their own arrangement, paying around $260 per month ($300 in winter) for room and breakfast, plus an optional extra $80pm for dinner.
