💡 When the Social Environment Becomes a Driving Force

In 2021, 16-year-old Mariam joined MEM as an ordinary volunteer, unaware of how profoundly her worldview and professional path would change.

Soon, she became a member of the team working with mentors and was later promoted to the External Relations Department as a coordinator.

🎯 Mariam’s sense of responsibility and systematic thinking led MEM to entrust her with the position of Assistant to the Executive Director.

✨ MEM provided Mariam with what she had not found elsewhere: a warm and supportive environment, a community of like-minded individuals, and most importantly, an opportunity to act with high responsibility.

Here, she acquired diverse knowledge, ranging from management to communication strategy. In her new role:

🧠 she is developing her analytical thinking,

🌐 working primarily online with professionals from various fields,

🗣️ and refining her communication skills.

Today, Mariam is not only growing as a professional but is also contributing to the sustainable development of the organization, becoming a true driving force for change.

🎯 Your contributions create such stories by identifying and nurturing active and goal-oriented young people from the regions. 🌿

Mobile Application by a 16-year-old boy from Vardenis 😲

💁‍♂️ Meet Ashot Zaqoyan from the Gegharkunik region. Although he has been with MEM for just one year, he has already become an active volunteer in various teams, and is now the coordinator of MEM’s IT department.

Ashot fulfills all the “dreams” of the MEM team by automating numerous mechanical tasks and enhancing work efficiency. ✨️

Recently, he began working on designing his own mobile application, "On The Road," which became the winning project of the Awesome Foundation Yerevan grant. 🏆 The app aims to uncover the hidden gems of Gegharkunik and other regions of Armenia, using artificial intelligence to suggest locations based on user preferences.

• “I learned about the grant through MEM and honed my skills to present the idea effectively. Now, MEM mentors are also helping in the final design and refinement stages of the application,” Ashot added.

There are many enthusiasts like Ashot in the regions, who just need the opportunity to grow and develop. 💚

We begin by sharing successful examples of commitment that demonstrate positive progress.

Hrachya also actively mentors Emmy from Syunik, assisting in the coordination of the "MEM-Syunik" regional team.

"Hrachya's mentorship gives me immense strength to move forward. He not only helps me with work processes but also plays a crucial and invaluable role in my personal growth," says Emmy. 🫂

"Before participating in the course, I didn't have deep knowledge of this field, although I felt its needin my work" said the 17-year-old lady.

The course included practical assignments and a competition, where Anush was recognized as the winner. Lecturer Linda Haddad added that the ոkey to her success were discipline and consistency. 🤩

📍 The last and unchanged stop is home. 

Liana Hakobyan hails from the village of Karakert in the Armavir region. During the 3 years of volunteering at MEM, she managed the HR Department and Entertainment team.

Even though she’s a student living away from the village, Liana's goals as a MEM member are deeply tied to Karakert's development.

A long-held dream of establishing an "Armat" engineering lab in the village became a mission. Leveraging her connections and skills gained through MEM, Liana joined the local school team and committed to the successful completion of a 6 million AMD fundraiser. Now children aged 10-18 from both Karakert and neighboring villages h can access technological education for free.

"Instead of empty words, I want to show by action and my example that we can make positive changes in our society and homeland," adds the patriotic leader.

You can make a difference for Liana and many other young people. Take a commitment and help create future leaders for the balanced development of the country. 💚

You can become a #commissioner of any child by donating 8,000 AMD per month on the reArmenia platform. Most importantly, receive a measurable and transparent report on his progress.

📢 From a schoolchild in a remote village to teaching Armenians in the US.

16-year-old Leili Khachatryan is from Meghvahovit, village of Lori. Having volunteered at MEM for 3 years, she was involved in several projects, and now she is the coordinator of MEM's Educational Department.

Although there is no school in her native village and she needs to attend a school in the neighbouring village for education, the stubborn and inflexible girl does not give up on difficulties. "Sometimes we had to walk 7 kilometres, but the obstacles are surmountable. the important thing is to go after the goal and not be afraid of dreaming big," she says.

📚 Due to self-education, gaining experience, knowledge, and developing skills, Leyli taught Armenians in the United States digital literacy at the age of 14.

Many young people like Leyli need you. Take responsibility, change lives, and help create leaders for the country's balanced development.

The second offline workshop of MEM management staff is also a reality.

On November 17-19 at coworking Focus Point Drakhtik was held

a three-day workshop wich important part was:

🔸Presentation of the functions of the MEM departments to each other,

🔸familiarity with educational topics,

🔸raising and discussing problems.

As a result of the meeting, departments developed mechanisms for solving problems, which will improve the quality of management.

The workshops will be periodic in nature.

On the last day of the workshop, the management staff of MEM visited Gagarin village of Gegharkunik region, there was an exchange of experience, during which MEM deputies told about their journey, and the active youth of the village told about their community activities.

📢 An influential story that represents the power of the Network and cooperation...

The Artsakh "Munk" technical school, with the joint efforts of the MEM and leaders, was reopened in Lori.

🔰 The "Munk" technical school operating in the village of Haghorti in Artsakh, which provided IT education to children over 12 years old, faced the danger of stopping its activities, because the latter's staff could be scattered in different places of Armenia after the displacement.

MEM, having learned about the fact that Artsakh residents are provided with accommodation in Tashir city and nearby settlements, contacted "Tashir Group" through mentors, presented the situation and achieved results, solving several problems at the same time.

"Tashir Group" provided comfortable apartments and office space to the entire teaching staff of the school.

🔹️ The displaced families from Artsakh received housing.

🔹️ The staff of the school remained concentrated in the same area, thanks to which the "Munk" technical school was not disbanded...

"Munk" has moved to Lori, Tashir, and will soon have a branch in Vanadzor.

As a beautiful continuation of this story, MEM and Munk will jointly create a network of coworking spaces, spreading throughout the country.

And MEM will continue its way of speaking and acting with results...

Tasks for the youth of regions…

As a result of the cooperation between Meknark.am and MEM, many young people are able to develop their soft and hard skills by performing various tasks, as well as earn symbolic money.

As a result, employers who post the task get the opportunity to focus on more extensive work.

As a result of one year of cooperation, MEM volunteers were given more than 100 tasks.

There were also cases when the volunteer received a job offer after completing the task.

In order to become a donor-employer on Meknark.am, you need to register on the website as an employer, post a task, and MEM volunteers will perform them with the best possible quality.

During the video call, the common directions between the projects and the children were discussed.

As a result of the meeting, one mentor has already joined MEM and participates in the 6:00 MEM club every morning.
