High School Guttenberg, NJ Resident Creates Bilingual
Civics & Citizenship Classes for the Community.

Max Koppelman, a rising Junior at The Dwight-Englewood School has lived in Guttenberg his whole life and is deeply connected to his community. By creating the program "Aprendemos Juntos" ("we learn together"), he aims to share his love of Spanish and civics with the entire neighborhood. The program will be offered for free every Monday and Wednesday from 6 to 7 p.m. from Jul. 22 to Aug. 14 at the Guttenberg Resource Center, located downstairs in the Galaxy Towers Mall, 7002 Boulevard East. The program comes as a result of Max's passion for Spanish, which has been cultivated since he was three years old and has inspired him to create lessons in American civic duties and politics
that are accessible to all members of the community, and can be especially helpful for those studying for their citzenship exam. In these turbulent times, with the upcoming elections, Max's created lessons that will cover a wide range of American politics and history and result in a better understanding of how citizens can participate in our government. " With the support of Mayor Zitt and the Town Council, we are confident
this program will be successful", says Max. He aims to cultivate an environment that not only encourages and excites participants but also motivates them to exercise their civic responsibility and explore our nation through a political lens.
