Fostering a safe place for native speakers to feel celebrated
Uplift the contributions indigenous communities have made to Santa Cruz County
Hold weekly meetings to create community and work on group projects that are identified by the students
Plan a countywide Multilingual summit where students, educators and community members may come together to learn about their rights as multilingual students, have an opportunity to ask questions directly to policymakers, and build community across the county.
