Program Director Tereza Yerimyan Shares Insights and Experiences at ARS Youth Connect
WASHINGTON—University students interested in an intensive Armenian American advocacy training program in the nation’s capital have less than a month to apply for the Armenian National Committee of America’s Leo Sarkisian Summer Internship (LSI), with the 2017 application deadline now extended to April 1st.
The 2017 ANCA LSI session will run from June 19 to August 11, 2017. Additional information and the online application form are available at: anca.org/internship
“As a 2012 alumnus of the ANCA Leo Sarkisian Internship Program, I can personally attest to the great educational and professional benefits of this Hai Tahd (Armenian Cause) training program for college students,” said ANCA Eastern Region Board Member Armen Sahakyan. “Throughout its 30-year existence, the LSI program has trained the future leaders of the Armenian American community, who’ve gone on to pursue their careers in a multitude of areas, ranging from the government to private sector.”

Each of our youth and leadership development programs – from the ANCA WR Internship in Glendale, Karabian Fellowship in Sacramento, the ANCA Leo Sarkisian Internship and the Hovig Apo Saghdejian Capital Gateway Program in Washington DC are designed to mentor and cultivate young leaders, and prepare them for future service opportunities in the public affairs arena.â€
