End of Year Giving - 2025

I care deeply about the ESLC. Serving on the board these past 3 years has given me front-row seat to so many stories of drive, strength, resilience, and community from our adult learners and immigrant neighbors. Coming to a new country is hard enough on its own, and adding the challenge of learning a new language while trying to talk to your children's teachers, apply for jobs, or simply navigate daily life, and the barriers can become overwhelming. Language shapes confidence, opportunity, and connection. 

This past year has been especially tough for many non-profits. We've faced limited resources and funding, yet the ESLC staff has stayed strong because we strongly believe that access to language and support changes lives. Right now, demand for classes is higher than our funding can support. If you're able to contribute even a little, it goes directly to the people working incredibly hard to build a new beginning. Help us strenghten our community by breaking language and cultural barriers together - your donation breaks these barriers. 

Thank you for supporting adult learners!
