The AGBU-UN SIG has come back from its first benefit event and is preparing to keep the momentum going!
Working in cooperation with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the AGBU-United Nations Special Interest Group (SIG) hosted its first benefit reception on July 24, 2008 at the UN headquarters in New York. The reception raised funds for the UNDP Youth Career Trail Project, which seeks to mitigate youth unemployment in Armenia by partnering recent college graduates with leading host organizations through a six-month paid internship program.
More than one hundred guests, including AGBU and UN dignitaries, attended the reception. The AGBU-UN Special Interest Group is proud to help sponsor the third class of interns and thanks to your support, the AGBU-UN SIG raised $6,000, which will cover the internship stipends for ten upcoming Youth Career Trail Project participants.
The committee is proud to have held its first benefit event and would like to thank all those who attended, made a donation and/or provided support in making this event a success!
