Gezim Gashi, a successful name in the music industry in Los Angeles and is the first Albanian to be one of the founders of the art school in America, seems to have a passion to challenge himself. He recently announced through a status on the social network Facebook that he has been appointed as the new Program Director for Mentor Foundation USA, founded by Queen Silvia in conjunction with the World Health Organization (WHO).
Gashi has already worked with mentors in the USA for some time in his role as program director, where he facilitates the programming of high-quality students and young people. This includes, but is not limited to, inspiring and motivating youth leadership and peer-to-peer programs, focusing on the innate talents of young people, and providing a platform to make their voices heard, while engaging to young people in positive and creative activities the power to become their advocates and to live a healthy and productive life.
Not only that, but Gashi will also expand the Foundation's existing youth network and build relationships with other youth-minded organizations, companies, and schools for creative and motivational youth-related programming in the United States.
In 2019, Gezim Gashi became the first Albanian and Swedish to start a high school in the US - the prestigious OCS Institute of Arts and Innovation in Los Angeles. He has worked on several school projects with several world artists, including legendary Quincy Jones and superstar Dua Lipa. Shortly before the pandemic, Gezim had the honor of holding his master class for entrepreneurial students at the world-famous Harvard University in Boston. Gezim is now a debutant with his first self-help book "Unlocked: The Power of You" which will be released on November 29 in the US.
