Celebrating the power of bilingualism

The Speak Your Language campaign was founded to close the gap in education opportunity for immigrant students by highlighting the inherent value of multilingualism as a student asset. The campaign builds public will and positive messages around multilingualism, emphasizing the importance of supporting and retaining home language to parents, students, educators, and policy makers. By recognizing the value of home language and encouraging its development and maintenance, we also hope to promote classroom diversity and sustain pride in cultural identity.
