The American Romanian Orthodox Youth

The most basic and instrumental components of National A.R.O.Y. are the local chapters. Our organization is comprised of young people who grow within their parish communities and are encouraged to be active members of the Church to the best of their talents and abilities. Every parish and mission of The Romanian Orthodox Episcopate of America is encouraged to organize the youth in their care into an active A.R.O.Y. Chapter. This benefits not just the national organization, but also the parish, the community and especially the individuals.
