ANCA INTERNS RETURN TO UNIVERSITY AND COMMUNITY LIFE COMMITTED TO STRENGTHENING GRASSROOTS ACTIVISM
August 14, 2008
WASHINGTON, DC – A summer of intense grassroots activism and political training came to an end this week as the 2008 Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) “Leo Sarkisian” summer interns returned to their campuses and communities, energized to put their enhanced skills to work in advancing Armenian American advocacy priorities.
This year’s participants gathered from across the U.S., Canada, and as far away as Argentina to work in the ANCA national headquarters and gain first-hand Armenian American advocacy training in the heart of Washington, D.C. “Having such a diverse group of motivated and intelligent young activists, each with different backgrounds and experiences, really added to the richness of this year’s internship experience,” said Internship Coordinator Serouj Aprahamian. “I think they’ve gained a lot, not only from working in the office but also from one another and I’m sure they will go on to be true torchbearers for our Cause well into the future.”
