OUR GOAL IS TO USE LANGUAGE AND CULTURE AS A BRIDGE AND A WINDOW TO PROVIDE REAL-LIFE LEARNING OPPORTUNITES FOR YOUNG STUDENTS TO EXPERIENCE AND DISCUSS THINGS THAT CAN SOMETIMES BE SENSITIVE AND DIFFICULT TO TALK ABOUT IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT. ALL OF THE COURAGEOUS CONVERSATIONS ARE DONE THROUGH SOCIAL JUSTICE THEMED LITERATURE, PERSONAL STORIES SHARED BY ADULTS AND PEERS, AND OPEN-MINDED DISCUSSIONS SUITABLE FOR THE STUDENT'S COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT LEVEL. IN THE SUMMER OF 2025, WE HAD THREE WEEKS OF CAMP PROGRAMS AT TWO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, SERVING A TOTAL OF 207 STUDENTS, AMONG WHICH OVER 9% OF OUR STUDENT BODY RECEIVED FINANCIAL AID TO ATTEND OUR HIGH-QUALITY K-8 YOUTH PROGRAM FREE-OF-CHARGE.

DATA WAS COLLECTED BETWEEN FEBRUARY AND APRIL 2025 THROUGH EDUCATOR NETWORKS, PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS, AND STATEWIDE NEWSLETTERS. THE RESULTING DATASET PROVIDES CRITICAL INSIGHT TO INFORM FUTURE ADVOCACY EFFORTS, STRENGTHEN WORLD LANGUAGE PROGRAMS, AND SUPPORT THE PROFESSIONAL GROWTH AND LONG-TERM STABILITY OF CHINESE-AND POTENTIALLY OTHER WORLD LANGUAGE-TEACHERS ACROSS MINNESOTA.
