ACYOA General Assembly & Sports Weekend

For decades, ACYOA General Assembly & Sports Weekend has served as a marquee gathering of Armenian-American young adults across the United States. Each year, the weekend is hosted in a different location by an ACYOA Seniors chapter. The weekend traditionally commences with General Assembly, the ACYOA's annual meeting attended by delegates representing local chapters, along with clergy and youth directors from across the Eastern Diocese. Following General Assembly, weekend attendees partake in evening events rooted in fellowship, compete in various sports tournaments, celebrate the Divine Liturgy on Sunday, and more.
