Irina Goubanova is the director and the founder of Translators of Cultures/Minority Youth Advocacy.

The program has been in place for ten years.  The program has three components: (1) Translators of Cultures Youth leaders (WHS students as well as minority students who are working or attending colleges and who are WHS alumni); (2) AMMY – Adults Mentoring Minority Youth. In this program adult mentors spend an hour a week taking a high school age minority student for lunch, building a relationship of trust and mutual respect, getting to know each other, talking about cultures, and inspiring a student to explore post-secondary opportunities for their education and professional success; and (3) Shoes & Boots, a peer tutoring program when a student with strong academic skills helps a new ELL/minority student with home assignments and helping them with confidence and social skills.
