Please contact us if you are interested in joining our committee. Committee members must have an affiliation with an organization (school, business, etc.) for which they will be a representative of their language group.
Committee members can support the Multilingual Chicago initiative in the following ways:
1) Do YOU know a school, church or other organization that offers instruction in Heritage Languages (Polish children learning Polish, for example), or instruction in a second language? LET US KNOW! Look for a language learning survey which will soon be available on this site.
2) Write a letter to the editor about how your language group contributes to the city of Chicago.
3) Forward articles to us that you see in the media related to multilingualism.
