Project AYF:Tebi Yergir
  (Back to the Homeland)
 The theme this year is Project AYF: Tebi Yergir (Back to
  the Homeland). At the 2011 Convention, the convention
  members decided to adjust the focus of AYF from just
  self-sustaining itself to helping a greater cause. This
  weekend will be a workshop weekend where the
  juniors will be able to leave lectures with creative new
  ideas and tools. Once these materials are learned it can
  be brought back to their local communities and then
  eventually to our homeland Armenia.

Common Questions Answered
 Why should I send my kid to Junior Seminar?
   AYF members who attend Junior seminar walk away with a
    sense of belonging to the organization. While local
    meetings and events are great ways to involve our junior
    members, a weekend away with other AYF members
    (especially out of the local scene) introduces our younger
    members to being independent in the organization. They
    also spend the weekend learning about AYF and other
    aspects that created this organization. In addition, they
    leave with new friends they have met throughout the
    weekend.
Common Questions Answered
 What is the overall goal of the weekend?
   The overall goal of the weekend is to educate and enjoy!
    This weekend is dedicated to our Juniors and we want
    them to leave with an understanding and education on
    who/what the AYF is; excitement to participate and take
    on leadership roles at their local levels; and new friends to
    continue to encourage them to come back to our regional
    events!
Common Questions Answered
 Who is watching my kids?
   The kids are being watched by the Senior AYF members
    who elect to spend their weekend at Seminar. This year,
    JSC is focusing on the ratio of juniors to seniors keeping it
    at 3:1. Two Counselors and one LIT will be present with the
    campers/cabins at all times.
Common Questions Answered
 What about safety?
   The campers are under constant supervision the entire
    weekend. Each cabin of campers has 2 counselors and 1 LIT
    (Leader-In-Training). 2 out of the 3 are requested to always
    be present with the kids at all times. At night, the Junior
    Seminar Committee works with the Central Junior
    Committee to establish a Night Watch Plan. There is an
    onsite nurse and Dr. the entire weekend taking care of
    medication distribution and any injuries or accidents that
    might occur during the weekend. Lastly, the Camp
    Lutherlyn has a staff present as well, who in case of
    emergency are available.

Seminar Committee at JSC@ayf.org with
   any further questions or concerns
