Recently acquired by Refood, this partnership leverages Refood’s expansive resources and network to significantly expand the foundation's educational impact. By combining food security and educational outreach, we drive positive change and help individuals reach their fullest potential, fostering growth in the communities we serve. Our focus areas are advanced education initiatives; grants for educators and employers; and personal and professional growth programs. We are looking for adults who understand their parents’ or grandparents' heritage language but have limited speaking ability. These are often called reciprocal bilinguals. This is a four week online testing program for a few hours per week. Candidates will speak in their own language during the exercises and testing.
