Do you have specific Neighborhood(s) in mind?

Which group(s) does your idea focus on? Select as many as apply.

Limited English Speakers

Immigrants/ Migrants

Describe the challenge you want to address:

Migrants and limited English speakers in our community are isolated by language barriers before being able to truly engage with their community. We need to focus on more than just ESL which puts the onus on these populations to do the work themselves without more support from their communities and neighbors to involve them and adapt to new languages.

What is the solution to the challenge?

Community Language Interface will focus on community events and workshops that connect people across language barriers. Some events will include conversational practice for language learners (both ESL learners and Native English learners) and music festivals which transcend language.
