USArmenian Partnership (USAP) brings American Armenians together across generations and communities. We welcome newcomers, celebrate our heritage, and create social, cultural, and educational opportunities for connection, civic participation, and service. We cherish and uphold the American values of democracy, freedom, human rights, the rule of law, and equal opportunity. By strengthening our community and recognizing American Armenians’ contributions to the United States, we also foster meaningful ties and cooperation between the United States and Armenia.
Registered in California as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit.
Based in Los Angeles, USAP is a community home for Armenian Americans: a place to meet, learn, serve and speak up, and a bridge that keeps the friendship between the United States and Armenia growing.
Armenian Americans have long contributed to the life and vitality of the United States. We aim to build on that legacy by supporting newcomers as they integrate into American life, helping every generation participate fully, and creating more ways for our community to serve and contribute. In doing so, we strengthen both the Armenian American community and the ties between our two nations.
One community, two homelands: stronger together at home, giving back to the country we live in, and building a lasting bond between the United States and Armenia.
Across generations, Armenian Americans have contributed to American society through their work, service, culture, leadership, and civic participation. We honor that legacy and aim to strengthen it by connecting people, sharing opportunities, and helping our community contribute even more fully to the life of the United States.
We connect Armenian Americans across generations, regions, and backgrounds so they can support one another, celebrate their shared heritage, and work toward common goals. A connected and engaged community can help its members thrive, pass Armenian heritage on to future generations, and make lasting contributions to the broader society.
We are committed to supporting Armenian newcomers as they integrate into American life and helping them find connection, opportunity, and a sense of belonging. We help newcomers take part fully in education, work, civic engagement, and community service, so they can put their skills, talents, and experience to work for the benefit of the United States. Their success builds their own future, strengthens the Armenian American community, and carries forward a longstanding tradition of contribution.
Peace, prosperity, opportunity and strong communities matter to Americans and Armenians alike. We bring people together around these goals and encourage cooperation that benefits both nations and their people. Armenian Americans’ relationships, experience, and contributions can help deepen this partnership.
