LithiumC4 Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 I'm curious if anyonoe knows an affective way to inspire our youth to contribute to Armenian events, activities, clubs, politics, etc. I can use my club at my high school as an example. I started an armenian club last year and it's really difficult getting anything done when no one cares. What can I do? We don't have a large Armenian population at our school. I'd say about 15-20 and a number of white/armenians. I'll take any advice w/ a non-provincial attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harut Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 when you find the solution, call me. with about 200 Armenian students at our HS, we didn't have Armenian club at all. nobody cared. at the middle of last year, finally, one breiv girl orgonized a club.but you should see the reaction of students. 150 of them didn't even think of joining it at any time.10 of them attanded only the first meeting.20 of them attanded once a month or so.5 of them came regurarlly just to avoid the sun.5 of them came regurarlly but never said a word or did anything at all.only 10 of them were active, but i'm sure 5 of them didn't even know what our club was about. sad isn't it.

Pilafhead Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 Lithium, Part of the problem may be that most of the kids are trying to get away from the ways of their immigrant parents/grandparents and they just want to be "regular" Americans. That's how my mom was. I say that even if you have 5 members, you're doing OK. College is probably a better place for that when alot of kids become more socially and politically aware. Since your high school is so close to CSUN, maybe you can co-ordinate with their Armenian Club? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiumC4 Posted August 21, 2001 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 Aghmug, I have made contacts with CSUN's Armenian Student Association and we even had a meeting a few days before the Armenian genocide Memorial Day march in Little Armenia," but it isn't enough. Man I'll have to admit it, a lot of our Armenian youth in America are very disgraceful. I'm telling you, it's all the liberal influence.

Armine Posted August 30, 2001 Report Share Posted August 30, 2001 Many of my Armenian friends attend CSUN at the given time, most of them are freshmans. My close friend wanted to join ASA but when she asked one of the reps what ASA was all about all she can talk about was the parties and their "trips" to big bear. I hope your club is not like that. If it is not too much trouble can you please tell me what your priorites are (as a club) and the clubs name. I'll tell my friends, maybe they'll be interested. Just a little bit of advice... Keep your clubs priorites close to home, dont stray away... what I mean is don't represent the club as a place to just have fun, let it be more based on Armenia, Armenian issues and Armenians today (do things about it)... I know that it might not attract that many students but look at it this way, you will have a young group of Armenian teenagers who are ready to build a brighter future Look at it this way, would you rather have 30 who only care about social gatherings or 10 who are motivated and care about who they are and where they come from? waiting for your response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
