Iranian Alliances Across Borders (IAAB) is excited to announce the fourth installment of Camp Ayandeh, IAAB’s Iranian-American youth leadership camp for high school students. This summer, Camp Ayandeh will be held at Duquette Academy in Western Massachusetts, June 28-July 5, 2009.

Staying true to its mission of empowering young Iranians and ultimately promoting Iranian culture, Camp Ayandeh was initiated to provide leadership opportunities to Iranian-American youth. Since then Camp Ayandeh, a summer camp of cultural and personal growth, has become an experience that is continuously deemed “the highlight of the summer” for students involved. The camp strives to engage campers by exploring the concepts of Iranian-American culture and identity, as well as their growth as our community’s future leaders.

Camp Ayandeh is open to rising high school sophomores to graduating high school seniors and students are encouraged to enroll quickly as Camp Ayandeh is offered on a first come, first serve basis. Campers can enroll online until June 7, 2009.

Iranian Alliances Across Borders is a 501(c)(3) non-partisan, non-profit volunteer organization with a young, dedicated staff spread across the United States, Europe and Iran.  The mission of the organization is to address issues of the Iranian diaspora community while raising awareness of the Iranian community, promoting leadership, and connecting Iranians across various borders.
