ANANIA SHIRAKATSY ARMENIAN NATIONAL LYCEUM: MENTORING PROGRAM
A team of Mission Possible students at Anania Shirakatsy Lyceum aimed to provide children in grades 1-9 in the local community with quality education through mentorship. They organized and conducted workshops on several subjects including Math, 3 languages, Arts, Psychology and Science. During
the workshops, the team introduced interesting topics and conducted discussions to build mentor-mentee relationships and help children develop a sense of global citizenship. The team also collaborated with high school students in Gyumri to share their experience with the goal of inspiring them to set up a similar program in their community.
Project Objectives:
• Promote quality education among students from disadvantaged families
• Mentor and encourage students to study and strive to learn more
• Create a mentorship network in Armenia
Activities:
• Designed workshop structure and content
• Conducted 20 thematic workshops
• Visited Gyumri to promote their program and establish cooperation with other schools
• Organized a charity concert with the participation of the mentees and other high school students from Gyumri
Results:
• Greater confidence and motivation among 30 mentees (increased from 10 to 30 over the course of the program)
• Raised nearly $100 USD from the charity concert and donated revenue to an underserved school in the Shirak region
• Expanded the program by collaborating with students from Gyumri to introduce the mentorship program in the Shirak region
Next Steps: The students are exploring additional opportunities to support women in need. They are planning to conduct a fundraising drive and contact donors to support the expansion of their project in the community
