Armenian Alumni Support and Engagement (A²SE) Program

The 𝗔𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗮 𝗔𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗻𝗶 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 & 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 (𝗔²𝗦𝗘) initiative will continue to empower and support USG alumni through networking and professional development opportunities in Armenia. USG Alumni will be supported in localizing their U.S.-gained experiences that can positively impact Armenia's society and economy while reinforcing ties between Armenia and the United States.

For decades, the U.S. Department of State facilitated the implementation of a wide array of exchange programs with Armenia, fostering a dynamic network of over 5,000 program alumni. These programs serve as transformative journeys, offering participants the opportunity to refine personal and professional skills, expand networks, and deepen their understanding of U.S. society, culture, and values. Upon their return to Armenia, USG program alumni continue to emerge as leaders in Armenia's private, government, and civil sectors, embodying the profound impact of these experiences.
