MFEE is thrilled to welcome Montclair High School senior Anahi Méndez, who has chosen to volunteer in our bilingual after-school programs through the MHS Career Internship Program this month.

“As a former ESL student it is an amazing opportunity to be able to help current ESL students of Montclair. It is a lovely experience to get to know all the kids and support them in all their endeavors," Anahi said.

Thank you for the kind words. We are grateful for your contributions to the Montclair community!

MFEE is thrilled to welcome Montclair High School senior Angelina Arias, who has chosen to volunteer in our after-school programs through the MHS Career Internship Program this month.

“I decided to intern at MFEE because I wanted to help people feel supported and not alone while adapting to a new environment. Seeing children and families feel more confident, included, and happy is what truly inspires me and made me passionate about doing my internship here," she told us.

Thank you for the kind words. We are grateful for your contributions to the Montclair community!
