HMONG LANGUAGE & CULTURE ENRICHMENT PROGRAM
Mission
Developing productive citizens and leaders by understanding their cultural heritage.
Goals
Our goals are achievable. In promoting our mission, we strive to create a safe and healthy learning environment for Hmong students to enhance students’ academic skills and prepare them for college. Our goals are the following:
-
Learn their roots (history and refugee experiences).
-
Expose students to their culture and traditions.
-
Learn their native language (written and oral).
-
Expose children to Hmong college students - their role models.
-
Have fun while instilling pride and confidence.
Values
Our values are the fundamental principles we use to achieve our mission of enhancing students’ academic skills by developing strong identities.
-
We believe that children who grow up with a strong identity and confidence will most likely become productive citizens and give back to society.
-
We believe that all children deserve a supportive and positive learning environment where they can learn about their roots—their heritage, culture and refugee experiences in order avoid unnecessary identity crisis in middle and high schools or even in college.
-
We believe children/youth must have a healthy experience growing up in today's society as a Hmong child.
-
We want to assist children/youth’s understanding of both the Hmong and English language—having both languages is a benefit to themselves and to their community.
-
We believe that Hmong college students are influential educators and role models for our children/you.
-
We believe in investing in the fruits of our labor—our children and college students are our future tax payers and community leaders.
