THE LANGUAGE ACCESS PROJECT IS BACK
From May - August, Global Wordsmiths will provide translation, interpretation, and language access assistance at no cost to public school districts in Southwestern Pennsylvania. This cycle of The Language Access Project was designed to help public schools communicate vital information to English Language Learners and their caretakers about the return to school next fall in the context of COVID-19. School districts interested in participating can apply here until April 16th.
Listen to our Founder Mary Jayne Speak about the Intersection of Language Access and Mental Health on The Barrier Breakdown Podcast.
