Initiatives

Never Again Never Again Campaign

The mission of the Never Again Campaign is to prevent crimes against humanity, particularly, a genocide. Prevention of such crimes will be accomplished through greater awareness of the Armenian Genocide and other unpunished crimes against humanity. By supporting organizations that are actively pursuing the education, remembrance, and recognition of the Armenian Genocide; we can prevent other people from suffering the same fate as the Armenian people. The struggle for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide is a struggle for all of mankind, a struggle to never again have genocide and crimes against humanity.

The Never Again Campaign helps bring awareness of the Armenian Genocide by organizing and sponsoring educational events on university campuses and distributing educational material to university students. The campaign raises money for donations through wristband sales and various other items. The campaign has raised over $25,000, which was donated to the Zorian Institute, the Armenian Genocide Museum, the Memorial in Washington D.C., the Genocide Education Project, the Armenian National Committee of America, and various others.

Never Again Armenian Educational Relief Foundation

The Armenian Educational Relief Foundation believes that the future of Armenia belongs to its youth. We also believe that every child has a right to a proper education. We are, therefore, dedicated to create the necessary conditions that provide education for all the children in Armenia. Proper education starts from day one; therefore, we concentrate on kindergartens because they require more attention. Furthermore, we are willing to commit our efforts to facilitating the development of education in all sectors of Armenia. Understanding the needs throughout Armenia, we work not to provide all of these needs, but devoting our attention to the most urgent situations. Many kindergartens in the outskirts of Armenia either lack basic supplies or have outdated ones. Therefore, the Armenian Educational Relief Foundation provides the most urgent supplies to kindergartens that are in the most impoverished situations. These supplies may range anywhere from desks, writing materials, beds, to refrigerators. The donation of these essential supplies gives the students of Armenia the basic elements required to start their education on the right track.

The Armenian Educational Relief Foundation’s goal is to travel to Armenia and donate necessary school supplies to the children in the outlying regions of Armenia. The foundation has supplied three of the neediest kindergartens in Armavir with necessary supplies.

High School Outreach Program

The purpose of High School Outreach Program is to reach out to the surrounding communities and provide high school students knowledge in their desired university. Alpha Epsilon Omega is currently established in seven universities and has created a network within the universities to provide the best orientation for high school students.
