Valentina Kushnir

My name is Valentina Kuschnir, and I am a senior at The Spence School in New York City. This is my second year at Next Generation Politics. Last year, I participated in an immigration cap project where we studied food insecurity in migrant populations across the city. This project went hand in hand with other projects I have worked on, including translation help for asylum seekers, greeting migrants at Port Authority, and sorting donations. My work with organizations like Next Gen, Team TLC, and The Hispanic Youth Leadership Institute has enabled me to pursue my passion for Civics. I am a lead fellow this year and am so excited to foster an inspiring community where we encourage the next generation to be civically minded.
