JNCL-NCLIS is excited to announce that we have bipartisan support for FY24 World Language Advancement and Readiness Program (WLARP) funding. This program provides three-year competitive grants to support the establishment, improvement, or expansion of world language learning in Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) schools and local education agencies with Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) programs.
Representatives Jimmy Panetta (D-CA) and Young Kim (R-CA) have initiated a congressional sign-on letter in support of a $15 million request for WLARA for next year. We need your help now to get as many Congressional signatures on this letter as possible by Friday, March 17th 5PM ET.
Please reach out to your House members and ask them to sign on to this "Dear Colleague" letter in support of $15 million for FY24 WLARP funding.
Thank you for your advocacy as we work together to support language education across the nation!
