ACYOA Central Council
DYYAM

The ACYOA Central Council is an appointed team of seven ACYOA Seniors members, elected each year at ACYOA General Assembly to carry out the mission of ACYOA across the Eastern Diocese. Throughout the year, Central Council implements ministries and programs that gather Armenian-American youth and empower them to grow in their faith together. They also oversee the activity of all local ACYOA chapters, serving as a resource for chapter growth and formation within parish communities.

 

If interested in serving on the ACYOA Central Council, or for any questions or assistance, please email the ACYOA Central Council at acyoacc@gmail.com.
