I.F. Team Spotlight Alert 🎉 !! Maria Adoskina has been an expert in international exchanges since 2000 and part of International Focus since 2013 as the Director of Special Projects. She loves working at IF because she relates to international visitors, having experienced the U.S. as a newcomer. She enjoys seeing the country through their eyes and gaining new perspectives, and she hopes to see IF keep growing over time. Bringing visitors and Americans together is rewarding for her, as it fosters mutual understanding, friendship, and unity. Maria cherishes time with her 2 grandsons and rescue dog, Izzy, and doing water aerobics outside of work! We are extremely fortunate to work with such a remarkable, talented, and committed person like Maria! 💫

This meeting discussed the importance of youth engagement in the political process and we are thankful to NC Child for bringing in so much of their team to share their perspectives. Hearing insight from across the globe highlighted the shared importance of involving young people in shaping our future! Special shout-out and thanks to Michael Cooper, NC Child’s Senior Director of Advocacy, for leading this discussion! #NCChild #FutureLeaders #YouthEngagement #nonprofit #InternationalFocus #RaleighNC #NorthCarolina #IVLP
