From March 14-16, 2025, Junior members of the Armenian Youth Federation – Youth Organization of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (AYF-YOARF) Eastern Region came together for the annual Junior Winter Olympics (JWO), a truly unforgettable event.
This year, the Midwest JWO was hosted by the Racine “Armen Garo” Chapter, while the Mid-Atlantic/New England JWO was organized by the Albany “Shoushi” Chapter. This event was made possible by the efforts of the hardworking host chapters and dedicated community members, along with the Central Junior Council and Central Athletic Council.

The event kicked off on Friday night, with AYF-YOARF Junior and Senior members gathering at Holy Cross Armenian Apostolic Church in Troy, New York. It set the stage for a full day of competition and camaraderie.
On Saturday morning, Juniors were up at 6:45 a.m., ready to take on the day. They boarded the bus and carpooled with Senior members to Sand Creek Middle School by 7:30 a.m., where a variety of competitions—including basketball, volleyball, tavloo, chess and checkers—were set up. As the day unfolded, parents and members of the Albany Armenian community arrived to cheer on the athletes and witness the spirit of JWO in action.
