The Armenian Volunteer Corps (AVC) is Armenia’s premier full-service internship and volunteer placement organization. If you are ready for a life-altering service experience, then AVC is for you! 

We provide all of our volunteers (which will hopefully soon include you) with individualized internship placements, year-round at one more of our 1,400+ partner organizations. How? By looking at each volunteer’s individual interests and background and matching those with our partner needs. Our partner organizations cover practically all sectors: business, education, environment, culture, health, government, NGOs, and many more. In addition to placement support for your professional volunteering, AVC also offers airport pickup, home-stays, Armenian language classes, excursions, weekly forums and gatherings, and more to ensure you adjust to life in Armenia as smoothly as possible.

Currently, AVC offers three different programs: Junior Corps, Professional Corps, and Senior Corps. Check out the links below for more information about each. 

Upon successful completion of the program, each volunteer enters our alumni family. Check out our “AVC Alumni” page for more details about the various support services we provide to alumni.
