On Sunday August 3rd 2008 Kurdish Youth Club in DC was formed.

by: Ara Alan

Sitting outside under the shades at Starbuck’s patio they discussed their role in the community and their level of involvement.  On a short notice 15 Youth from DC area gathered. Some others called in but promised to be at the next meeting.  Ara Alan presented the youth the concept of Kurdish Youth Club. It was very promising to see them welcoming the idea with such warmth.

The Youth Decided to establish Kurdish Youth Club DC (KYC DC). Like all the other branches of Kurdish Youth Club it will be an independent, non-political, and Kurdistani organization.  Open to all Kurds from all parts and back grounds. It is also as welcoming to non-Kurds who believe in supporting the Kurdish cause.

Kurdish Youth Club takes pride in their slogan of: BY The Youth…For The Youth.  Ever since Sunday KYC applications have been pouring in from DC area.  We encourage all youth in that area to come to our website and Apply under the heading of KYC.  KYC DC will operate from DC and will respond to the needs of youth and community in that area. Along with the other branches of KYC they will strive to have a Kurdish voice in USA.  A facebook group is also created for the group names KYC DC.

KYC DC’s next meeting will be at
