Who We Are
The Armenian Young Men's Society (Hoyetchmen) is located in the historical Armenian Convent of St. James in the Armenian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. Our Club was established in 1937 by a group of idealist young Armenian men, the first generation to come after the 1915 Armenian Genocide. The aim of our Society is to prepare exemplary Armenian young men and women, by giving them Armenian education, morally, mentally and physically.
Youth Organization Services
Since the establishment of the Hoyetchmen Club in Jerusalem we have worked and still are working in several fields for the benefit of our community and youth, we have nurtured our community’s youth and provided them with opportunities to unleash their inner potential.
Our Youth in the Hoyetchmen Club can bring their potential through scouting, sports and culture. These three fields will shape our youth to become good and devoted future leaders.

Sports Programs
Another aspect of service to our community is through our
yearly sports programs and teams.
Cultural Programs

Scholarship
Since the establishment of the Hoyetchmen Club in Jerusalem in 1937, we have worked hard to bring benefit to our community and, in particular, enable our younger generation to become leaders in a wide variety of fields around the world.
Through participation in scouting, sports, cultural and recreational activities, we continue to equip our youth at Hoyetchmen with unique leadership and interpersonal skills to act as future leaders of the club and ensure strength within our community.
Unfortunately, given current regional and global political and economic circumstances, the Armenian community in Jerusalem faces enormous challenges.
