How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Language Access as Civic and Economic Equitymethodology: language_access_civic_participationBy removing language barriers in government programs and contracting, we increase participation and economic opportunity for immigrant communities, because equitable access to language support enables full civic and economic engagement.
- Language for Employment and Integrationmethodology: language_for_employmentBy providing general and occupation-specific English instruction, we improve immigrants' language proficiency, because this enables better employment outcomes, workforce readiness, and daily social integration.
- Peer-Supported Language and Civic Accessmethodology: peer_supported_language_accessBy engaging multilingual youth as language support providers for limited-English-proficient parents, we improve family access to services and education, because peer-facilitated models strengthen intergenerational communication and build community capacity.
