Nor Luyce Mentoring Center for Youth
Join the meeting here
Nor Luyce Mentoring Center for Youth NGO is the first mentoring organization in Gyumri, Armenia to work with adolescent girls from orphanages and socially vulnerable families to provide them with mentoring relationships, skill-building opportunities, career planning, and college scholarships. The marginalization of girls from resource poor settings, especially in a patriarchal society such as Armenia, is significant in both the access and support networks required to reach career and personal goals. This has become especially heightened during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Nor Luyce’s mission and vision align with 3 sustainable development goals, SDG 4: Quality Education, SDG 5: Gender Equality, and SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities. Target 4.7 emphasizes the education needed to promote sustainable development. Nor Luyce educates on topics such as the UN and its mission, the ECOSOC status of Nor Luyce, climate change, discrimination, human rights, etc. Target 5.5 addresses women empowerment and tangible changes in managerial positions by women. This aligns with Nor Luyce’s goal of improving self-efficacy in young girls and empowering them to be successful leaders in technological and global environments by giving mentees active roles in the training and education of others. Finally, target 10.2 emphasizes the importance of reducing inequalities for all. Nor Luyce continuously educates their mentees on sustainable living, women’s empowerment, and the importance of gender and human rights. Resilience displayed within the Nor Luyce staff and the mentees solidified an effective, efficient, and sustainable path towards achieving Agenda 2030.
