Connecting Communities to Advance the Armenian Cause
Growing up in the San Francisco Bay area, my family did everything they could to instill in me a love of my Armenian heritage and culture and a thorough understanding of the Armenian language and history. I attended a weekly Armenian school where I was taught the Armenian language, culture and the importance of teaching others about Armenia. My grandparents taught me our family history and how their mothers and fathers survived the horrors of the Armenian Genocide. They remind me that still having family in Armenia makes me all the more connected to our homeland. This same love for my Armenian heritage and community has driven me to participate in the ANCA’s Leo Sarkisian Internship. My goal throughout this internship is to develop a deeper understanding of the government process that turns Armenian concerns into action, to develop a network of similar-minded youth with whose help I can advance the Armenian Cause, and to foster a new generation of dedicated Armenians.
