    Crescenta Valley High School Junior Steps Up to Serve
    Community Through ANC-WR


    LOS ANGELES, CA - Sara Simounian recently joined the Armenian National
    Committee - Western Region's Internship-Externship Program (ANC-WR
    IEP) as one of its newest interns this spring. As part of the
    program, Simounian will be specializing in Public and Media Relations.
    Only a few weeks into the program, Simounian has jumped into action
    assisting the ANC staff with several projects ranging from press
    releases to event promotion.

    "Through the program I am learning more about current issues dealing
    with Armenia and Armenian communities all over the world," noted
    Simounian. "Though I am dealing with present community concerns,
    doing so has made me feel a greater appreciation for my heritage," she
    added.

    Simounian is a third year student attending Crescenta Valley High
    School in Glendale. She intends to continue her academic studies at
    Glendale Community College before heading off to university. In
    addition to her projects, Simounian has also had the opportunity to
    learn more about the ANC as well as valuable work environment skills
    through the internship program's lecture, workshop, and seminar
    series.

    Simounian learned about the internship program through her brother, an
    ANC-WR IEP alumnus. She had regularly volunteered for the ANC-WR in
    the past year and as soon as Simounian heard about the 2009 Spring
    Session of the internship program she quickly submitted her
    application.

    "One of the best things about this program is that I get to work with
    friends who feel just as strongly as me about making a positive
    difference in my community," said Simounian.

    The Armenian National Committee ? Western Region is the largest and
    most influential Armenian American Grassroots advocacy organization in
    the Western United States. Working in coordination with a network of
    offices, chapters, and supporters throughout the Western United States
    and affiliated organizations around the country, the ANC-WR advances
    the concerns of the Armenian American community on a broad range of
    issues.
