Join The Effort
Do you share the vision and mission of My Bilingual Child? Then spread the word among your personal network -- including family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, church members -- and consider what action you will take. There's much that can be done as an individual or a group, and as a leader or supporter.
Perhaps you want a language immersion (or other type of language program) started, expanded or improved at your neighborhood school. Or you want to work toward making a language learning opportunity available throughout the school district. Or maybe you want language immersion added as an after school activity, a summer school or camp program. Let's stay in touch and work together! |
What You Can DoLearn about language immersion programs and schools for children. There are many resources about language immersion programs, schools, etc., online.
