The Genocide Education Project offers secondary school social studies and English teachers an opportunity to apply for The GenEd Teacher Fellowship Program.
Launched in 2022 through a unique partnership with the Armenian Genocide Museum and Institute (AGMI), the program combines GenEd’s expertise in training high school educators with AGMI’s unique role in Armenian Genocide remembrance and research, including its in-depth museum exhibits, collection of primary source documents and artifacts, and its ongoing scholarship on the genocide and its immediate and long-term aftermath, including continuing effects today.

The initial phase of the GenEd Teacher Fellowship Program includes a 10-day trip to Armenia in July, with academic and workshop sessions at AGMI’s museum and conference facilities and afternoon field trips complimenting the workshop content.
During the program’s second phase, Teacher Fellows will provide professional development services for other educators in their region under the supervision of The Genocide Education Project.
Fifteen U.S. middle or high school educators with demonstrated experience in Armenian Genocide education are selected to participate in the program. All expenses are covered through generous donor contributions to The Genocide Education Project. A $400 deposit by participants will be reimbursed upon successful completion of the full program. Applications are accepted December to early January, and selections are made in February.
