Last month we shared how AAEA is collaborating with St. Barnabas High School in the Bronx, New York. The internship program is designed to develop voluntary, one-on-one relationships among alumni and students to share knowledge, skill-sets, and educational experiences. Its goal is to empower youth and drive career development as well as form School-Community-Business partnerships. We are very excited to partake in this program.
We would like to introduce you to our intern, Egzona Gjonbalaj who is working with AAEA. Egzona is a senior who works hard and enjoys learning and working with people. In addition, to her studies, she teaches religious instruction to elementary school students and aspires to become a teacher one day. She is currently Vice President of the Albanian Club where she works with classmates to teach Albanian culture to other students. Egzona enjoys playing and watching soccer and played for her school for two years. She is very happy and excited to have been selected to intern with AAEA. She is grateful for the opportunity to work closely with educators and is enjoying her new experiences.
