Meet The Founders

Armine J.

Hi, I’m one of the co-founders of Armenian Kids Club. I want to note that I was totally against this unnatural pose you see in this image.   

I’ve always loved to tell stories, but I feel that when we started AKC, that’s when I got my chance to really dive into it.

I received a bachelor’s degree in television production from CSUN and also minored in Armenian studies from the same university.

After graduation, I went on to work many years for a local TV production company as an editor and graphic designer.  In 2015, I put both my education and work experience into the Armenian Kids Club.  I haven’t looked back since!

When Did We Start?

Armenian Kids Club was founded in 2015 as a result of many years of searching for ways to teach our children how to read, write and think Armenian in a fun and interactive way. 

It is our firm belief that we absolutely must teach our kids Armenian as well as other languages.  Learning a language is a great way to flex the brain power of a child at an early stage of their lives. 

Obstacles We Faced

Some of the biggest hurdles we faced were starting with almost zero funds, high printing costs in the U.S., whether to publish in Eastern Armenian only or Western Armenian as well, and how to manage this massive workload with three young kids in the family.

We still have some of these issues today, but we love our work, so we plow through them anyway!
