Since immigrating to San Francisco from Moscow in 2006, 17-year-old Erna Aramyan has been involved in Youth- Cares Partners in Learning (PIL) as a student, an assistant tutor, and a peer tutor. Erna, who speaks both Rus- sian and her family’s native language, Armenian, remembers that when she first enrolled as a student at Newcomer High School, she was shy and scared. However, she and her brother Edward quickly formed close friendships with Donald and Ornella Leukou, siblings from Cameroon. The four students became dedi- cated participants of PIL’s afterschool program because they wanted to learn new things and improve their English.
