A Life-Changing Start: Mentee Spotlight
"I’m just beginning my journey with Nor Luyce, and I already feel the transformation taking root in my life," says Kima T. "Here, I’ve found the support and encouragement I’ve long needed. I’m learning to believe in myself, set goals, and overcome obstacles. Nor Luyce is more than an organization to me—it’s where I see a future where nothing is impossible. It’s all thanks to this incredible program."

A Quarter of Growth and Connection
The first quarter of our new program year has been a whirlwind of activity and achievement. Here’s a glimpse of what we’ve accomplished together:

Mentoring Phase Highlights

  • Building Bonds: 22 hours of group meetings introduced mentees to their mentors and led to the formation of 1-on-1 mentorship pairs.
  • Personal Growth: 368 hours of individual sessions encouraged teenage girls to explore their identities, strengths, and dreams. Through self-discovery sheets and interactive group activities, mentees made strides in self-knowledge.

Equipping Mentors

  • Skill Building: 10 hours of initial training provided mentors with tools to guide and inspire.
  • Shared Experiences: 16 hours of group meetings deepened connections between mentors and mentees, paving the way for meaningful relationships.

Skills Building in Action

  • Practical Learning: 20 hours of group sessions empowered mentees with knowledge on scientific writing, creating impactful presentations, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and personal hygiene.
  • Exploring Sustainability: A visit to the ATP Environmental Center in Margahovit connected mentees with Armenia’s rich biodiversity and the urgent need to protect endangered plant species.

Higher Education Empowerment

  • Unlocking Potential: 6 hours of sessions uncovered keys to academic and professional success.
  • Inspiration in Action: Meetings with prominent bloggers, singers, and actors provided mentees with motivation and insight into building impactful careers.

Friendships, Fun, and Connection

  • Cross-Phase Unity: 12 hours of collaborative meetings brought Mentoring and Skills Development mentees together, fostering new friendships.
  • Moments of Joy: 2 hours of entertainment sessions gave mentees the chance to bond and unwind.

By the Numbers

  • Participants Engaged: Over 50 mentors and 130 mentees joined forces across activities.

As we reflect on the past three months, it’s clear that Nor Luyce isn’t just a program; it’s a movement of growth, resilience, and community. Together, we’re not only dreaming of brighter futures—we’re building them.

Here’s to the incredible achievements so far and the milestones yet to come!
