Cultural

In its mission to teach our youth about our cultural heritage, the Homenetmen Glendale "Ararat" Chapter formed a Cultural Division. This Division focuses on introducing our younger members to the rich culture of the Armenian nation with such classes as dance, poetry, art, drama and choir.

Cultural Division's mission is to teach our cultural heritage to the youth and promote high quality cultural events and programs in the community.
