Come Home To Ararat
We build character through sport, culture, and community — not just skill.
Homenetmen Glendale “Ararat” is a non-profit youth organization serving Armenian American families in Los Angeles and Glendale through scouting, athletics, cultural education, and community programs. Since 1978, we’ve given kids a place to grow up strong, connected to their heritage, and surrounded by people who show up for them.
We’re not a sports league. We’re not a Sunday school. We are much more under one roof.
Homenetmen was founded in 1918 on a simple idea. A strong mind lives in a strong body. Over the past century, that idea grew into a worldwide organization with 90 chapters, 25,000 members, in five continents.
