AGBU Launches Moscow Summer Intern Program, Applications Now Available
AGBU is currently accepting applications for its newly created 2010
Moscow Summer Intern Program. Already home to the largest community in
the worldwide Armenian diaspora, Moscow will be the location of AGBU’s
newest summer intern program, which joins the organization’s successful
programs in New York and Yerevan. The first Moscow Summer Intern Program
is scheduled to begin on June 26, 2010, and it will continue for five
weeks, concluding on July 31.
The program will offer students of Armenian descent from around the
world a once-in-a-lifetime professional experience in a global hub of
trade, commerce, diplomacy and innovation. Participating students will
experience the exhilaration of the Russian capital, which is home to
hundreds of international corporations and leading organizations. They
will stay at the dormitories of the internationally renowned Moscow
State University with the best and brightest Armenian students from
around the world. They will be immersed in the thrill of modern Russia
and discover a world of opportunity they could only dream of. Like its
sister programs in New York and Yerevan, students participating in the
Moscow program will explore the Armenian character of the city and meet
local Russian Armenians who are a driving force in the revitalization of
this former capital of the Soviet Union. In addition to local outings,
educational seminars and cultural workshops, participants will travel to
St. Petersburg to explore the cultural riches of czarist Russia. Among
the treasures they will encounter during their trip to Russia’s second
city will be the famed Hermitage Museum and St. Catherine’s Armenian
Apostolic Church.
Students are not required to know Russian to participate as they will be
placed in English-language work environments. For more information,
please visit, agbu.org/msip, or email, [email protected].
Established in 1906, AGBU () is the world’s largest
non-profit Armenian organization. Headquartered in New York City, AGBU
preserves and promotes the Armenian identity and heritage through
educational, cultural and humanitarian program, annually touching the
lives of some 400,000 Armenians around the world.
