Critical Exposure is partnering with Many Languages One Voice (MLOV), a non-profit organization in the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood of D.C. that is focused on improving language access rights for English Language Learners. Our MLOV youth will be working on two projects this semester: the first is to conduct interviews and photograph the stories of English language learners. This project will be a part of a report that MLOV is releasing in honor of Language Access Month which is in April. Additionally, students will be working to improve the access to counselors and support group for ELL students in their schools, with a particular focus on Coolidge SHS and Roosevelt SHS.
