ANC-WR Intern Spotlight: Razmig Khayalian
Razmig Khayalian learns the fundamentals of non-profit, grassroots
organizations
GLENDALE, CA --- As the 2009 Summer Session of the Armenian National
Committee-Western Region's Internship-Externship Program (ANC-WR IEP) begins
its fifth week, Razmig Khayalian, an Administration and Development Intern
with the program is busily working on several projects addressing both the
developmental aspects of non-profit organizations as well as assisting ANC
outreach efforts to the Orange County area community.
`I wanted to participate in the program because it was a great way for me to
match my passion about these issues with an opportunity to do something
about it,' says Khayalian.
Khayalian is working with the local ANCs outside of California to help
connect local activists with their elected representatives. He is also
working with the ANC of Orange County in its effort to expand its outreach
to students and young professionals and help organize its end of summer
community issues briefing.
Khayalian is currently a student at the University of California, Irvine
where he is studying Political Science with a minor in Conflict Resolution
and a certificate in Mediation. He hopes to attend law school and is
interested in getting involved in politics. This past spring he
participated in the university's UC DC program during which he spent three
months in Washington DC as an intern.
`I visited the ANC-WR office last summer because I was interested in getting
involved and the in discussing the ANC-WR IEP I felt it was the right fit
for me,' notes Khayalian. `I think that my internship in Washington DC
definitely helped prepare me for this program.'
Eager to help reach out to the people in the communities in which he lives,
Khayalian has served on the board of the Pasadena Armenian Church Youth
Organization (ACYO) for the last two years. He plans to remain involved in
the Armenian American community after completing the internship program by
continuing the work he has started this summer with the ANC in Orange
County.
The Armenian National Committee - Western Region is the largest Armenian
American grassroots community 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 works to promote understanding regarding issues of
concern to the Armenian American community.
