Trachtenberg Office Staff Attends Liberty’s Promise After-School Program in Silver Spring

Liberty's Promise supports young immigrants in need while encouraging them to be active and conscientious American citizens. The programs aim to make the immigrant experience an affirmative one for young newcomers while instilling in them a sense of pride and support for American ideals of democracy and freedom. By doing so, Liberty's Promise seeks to reaffirm our fundamental egalitarian and democratic traditions for future generations.

Chief of Staff Alan Bowser and Wil Gutierrez represented Councilmember Trachtenberg at Liberty’s Promise Silver Spring’s Civics and Citizenship class. This class teaches immigrant youth about their community and how to become active participants in American civic life.

Mr. Bowser spoke to young students present about County Government, community activism, political careers and Councilmember Trachtenberg’s efforts to engage youth in the political sphere.
