ArmeniaCorps Featured on Credo Voices Podcast

Hayasa Tahmazyan, founder of the Armenia Corps Development Initiative, was recently featured on the Credo Voices Podcast by Credo Advisory, a Nigeria- and Washington, D.C.-based communications organization.

Inspired by the Gates Foundation and the United Nations’ commitment to driving positive change, Credo Voices is hosted by Awele Okigbo, Founder of Credo Advisory. The podcast spotlights ordinary people doing extraordinary things across the globe.

Through in-depth interviews, Credo Voices uncovers the compelling stories behind changemakers’ work by exploring the challenges they face, the lessons they learn, and their vision for a more sustainable, equitable, and just world.

In the episode, Hayasa discussed how ArmeniaCorps is reimagining locally led development through asset-based and systems-thinking approaches. 

The discussion also highlighted the holistic model ArmeniaCorps is developing to connect communities with universities by demonstrating how shifting from a needs-based to an asset-based mindset can unlock new pathways for growth and resilience.

“At ArmeniaCorps, we prioritize the strengths of local communities rather than their needs,” said Hayasa during the interview. “Our role is to connect those assets and create systems where local talent drives sustainable change.”
