program and exhibit to their 
schools in the process edu-
cating their peers. 
Such was the case with stu-
dent docents from Oak Park 
High School, Aliza Lam, 
Aviva Medved and Maddy 
Sean, who brought the exhib-
it to their school. 
After completing the DLP 
Student Docent Training 
Program, Aviva Medved, 
a senior at Oak Park High 
School, shared her thoughts 
on her journey: “I became a 
wiser and more empathetic 
individual.” She stressed the 
importance of understand-
ing history, stating that “to 
create a brighter future for 
us all, we have to under-
stand our history. This expe-
rience helps people take that 
first step, which is extremely 
valuable. It doesn’t matter 
who you are or what your 
background is — I believe 
everyone can learn from 

Labkovski’s story.” 
Applications for the Fall 
International Student Docent 
and Leadership program are 
open and there is no fee to 
apply. 
For students searching for 
meaningful volunteer work 
and teachers looking to share 
an impactful project-based 
program with their students, 
the David Labkovski Project 
provides a perfect fit by 
allowing students to expand 
their knowledge, explore 
the world of art, learn about 
the Holocaust through an 
engaging approach and join a 
welcoming community. 
“Empowering students to 
educate others while merging 
history, art and technolo-
gy is key to a 21st-century 
Holocaust education,” Raikin 
says.
