Rooted in the Armenian community. Open to all.

THE NETWORK
One year in. This is what it looks like.
From the debut event in July 2025 — a room of 50+ young Armenian innovators meeting in person. The turnout confirmed that people wanted this kind of network.
A first event turned into an active, volunteer-led network.

04 / THE ORIGIN
“I noticed something missing in our generation — a real network.”
Alexander started NAYI in 2025 while attending Verdugo Hills High School. He saw young Armenians who needed better ways to meet and support each other.
That first room became a volunteer-led nonprofit with branches at Hoover, Glendale High School, Glendale Community College, Clark, and Yerevan.
