A Guide to Community-Based Organizations for Immigrants
An informed, empowered community of parents, guardians and other persons in parental relation is critical to ensuring that Multilingual Learners (MLs) and English Language Learners (ELLs) are well supported and thrive. The 91°µÍøÆƽâ°æ's Office of Bilingual Education and World Languages (OBEWL) has created A Guide to Community-Based Organizations for Immigrants which provides a list of organizations throughout 91°µÍøÆƽâ°æ. Each organization offers a variety of services. Some of these services include, advocacy & community engagement, health care & insurance, housing, labor & employment, legal services & lawful status, public assistance, safety, and youth & education, that may be useful to parents and communities.
OBEWL is committed to supporting MLs and ELLs and their families across 91°µÍøÆƽâ°æ. Parents of MLs and ELLs and former ELLs are encouraged to contact these organizations when they need assistance. When families’ needs are supported, children have a base to build upon in order to achieve academic success and become college and career ready.Ìý
