The World Language Initiative - Montana’s proposal is designed to provide essential support to the Bozeman newcomer Spanish speaking community, whose hardship and challenges have been exacerbated by COVID. Through our Bozeman English Language & Literacy Alliance (BELLA) project, we request $52,000 to provide over 2600 hours of English language learning support to 150 City of Bozeman youth and adults. World Language Initiative - MT (WLI) is a Bozeman-based language and culture education services non-profit functioning as a formal 501-c3 since 2017 and as a community group since 2013. We recognize and promote the economic and societal benefits of multilingualism in our community. WLI’s reach and capacity is growing. In 2019, our programming reached over 1400 language learners in the Gallatin Valley. In 2021/22 we will have an annual budget nearing $300,000. WLI includes five core staff, 7 person board, and 15 language coaches who are delivering language & culture education to both youth and adults in the Bozeman Area. WLI is a team of educators, non-profit professionals, and talented volunteers who are committed to supporting the community by increasing access to quality language and culture learning in the Bozeman Area and the state. We are a multi-racial and multi-gendered team of native and high proficiency speakers, representing cultures from within Montana and throughout the world. Our focus is to build language education pathways for multi-language learning; from kindergarten to 100. We currently teach seven languages: Arabic, French, German, Mandarin, Spanish,English, and most recently, Japanese. Thank you again for your time, good luck with the evaluation process and we look forward to hearing from you. Elizabeth Williamson Founder / Executive Director, World Language Initiative - MT Tax-ID: 82-2212916 World Language Initiative - Montana (WLI-MT) 111 South Grand Avenue, Room 202 Bozeman MT 59715 wlimt.org |info@wlimt.org | +1 406.414.6419 1.0 Executive Program Summary The demographics of Montana, Gallatin Valley and Bozeman are rapidly changing. As The City of Bozeman is growing at unprecedented rates, so is our Spanish speaking population. Over the last 4 years, the Bozeman Latinx/Hispanic community has increased by 70%. As of 2021, it is estimated now that there are over 2,000 Spanish speaking individuals residing in our city. There is strong urgency to support these newcomer community members for the following reasons: 1.Economic hardship experienced under COVID has been disproportionate to people of color, and 2.The majority of our Bozeman Spanish speaking newcomers are low income, poverty level, and/or homeless Montana towns and cities are at a greater disadvantage in supporting these newcomers as compared to towns and cities in other states in the West because Montana is one of three remaining states in the nation which has yet to establish Title III English learner multipliers in its funding formulas; the others are Alabama and Mississippi. This multiplier, when it exists, provides equity in services by increasing the per student support dollar amounts to schools to meet increased English learner (EL) student educational needs. Given COVID and the propensity for newcomer Spanish to be entering our community at low incomes and/or at the poverty line, it is incumbent on our community and our city’s leadership to develop supports to address the inequities that low English language proficiency and low income create. To meet this important need in our community,WLI requests $52,000 to deliver essential English language and literacy services to the growing Bozeman Spanish speaking community of youths and adults. Funding will be spent January 2022 through December 2023. Our summary of services and estimated impact are as follows: 1.English Language Evening Adult Online Classes (50 adults served) 2.English Language & Literacy Summer Camp/Day Care (35 youth served) 3.Evening English Language Classes - Adult and Youth In-person (50 individuals served) 4.Equity in Experience for EL Newcomer Youth through Enrichment (15 youth served) Through the above we will be offering over 2600 hours in English language learning skills for City of Bozeman Spanish speaking families, 100% of which are low income or poverty level.All services listed aboves will be offered at no-cost and under the Bozeman English Language & Literacy Alliance (BELLA) project in collaboration with our community partners; including the Bozeman School District, MSU Modern Languages Department, HRDC, Bienvenidos Community Group and Bozeman Public Library. For any Spanish speaking Latinx/Hispanic City of Bozeman families who qualify for district free and reduced lunch (this is a criteria and includes low income families and those at or below the poverty line), WLI proposes to support these disadvantaged households, by providing English learning opportunities to the following: ●Adults (High School students and above):these community members are the economic drivers for their families and their households. We include 15 because that is the official age students can leave school and enter the workforce in Montana. MT School districts have indicated that they are seeing a higher proportion of Spanish speakers drop out of school after 15 to enter the service and building sector workforces. If these “adults” as well as their parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents do not have the language skills to navigate the community, in terms of education, health and financially, they and their families suffer. ●Youth (Elementary-aged):these are tomorrow’s Bozeman citizens. We wish to empower these kids to have the language and literacy skills they need to be successful in school; because when they are not behind in school, there will be greater incentive to stay in school. We also want them to have experiences and social/emotional skills to integrate part of this community. For that we believe equity in enrichment education beyond the fundamentals of language to be essential. ●Families (all ages):The family unit is very strong in Latino communities. We want to create opportunities in partnership with the Bozeman Public Library, where both the adults and the youth are co-concurrently learning the language skills online & in-person. 2.0 Organizational Profile MISSION World Language Initiative - MT’s mission is to make language and culture education available to all Montanans. VISION World Language Initiative-MT’s vision is for all elementary-aged Montana students to have access to language and culture education in the school day and engage with highly proficient and native speakers and cultures of the world. We envision Montana communities where all members are multi language learners. PURPOSE World Language Initiative - MT’s purpose is to create a pathway to multi language learning and global citizenship. We provide high-quality language learning opportunities using professional, nationally recognized strategies in language education. Through making language & culture programming available, Montanans will have improved access and desire to celebrate diversity in their communities.

NO 4.0 Proposal Questions / Answers 1.Related experience with projects similar to the scope of services WLI has been running after-school and in-school world language programming in the Gallatin Valley since 2013.In 2019, WLI reached over 1400 youth and adult Bozeman Area community members through our K-5, middle school, and adult language and culture education services. For 4 years, we led annually a 350-student after-school world language education program at all 8 Bozeman elementaries and 200-student world language and culture summer camps. We are in our 3rd year of teaching in-person and online adult language classes. We recently launched a successful 5-week in-person English program, teaching K-5 English Learner newcomer youth essential language and literacy skills. For more information about our programs related to this proposal, please see our BELLA and Small Groups brochures at the end of this document. 2.Detailed description of the program/project The Bozeman English Language Literacy Alliance (BELLA) Project includes youth Summer Camps and Small Group adult English language education services.WLI asks for $52,000 to deliver an expanded set of free English language services to limited English proficiency native Spanish speakers in Bozeman. These offerings will start in January 2022 and run through December 2023. WLI will use the ARPA funds provide the following language education deliverables: 1.English Language Evening Adult Online Classes:WLI provides weekly evening online English language classes to the adult Spanish speaking community -50 adults served 2.English Language & Literacy Summer Camp/Day Care:Deliver a 2nd year of essential English Literacy and Language skill building through its 5-week BELLA summer camp; includes WLI Coordination, Lead EL Coach, MSU EL trained student coaches, Bienvenidos site volunteers, HRDC & community business support in providing lunch -busing to camp available M-TH; 10am-2p -35 K-5 youth served 3.Evening English Language Classes - Adult and Youth In-person:Grow our relationship with the Bozeman Public Library through which beginning in Fall 2022, WLI expands our English language and literacy offering to include in-person classes and BPL with MSU and WLI coach support, provide concurrent youth language education programming at the Bozeman Public Library -50 families served 4.Equity in Experience for EL Newcomer Youth through Enrichment:Through partnership with other enrichment camp programs, WLI will offer its “graduated” Year 1 k-5 summer camp students the opportunities to attend either other WLI summer language camps on a sliding scale “pay what you can (0 - 25%) of standard cost” basis in German, French, Japanese, Arabic or Mandarin languages -15 K-5 students served All services listed aboves will be offered at no-cost and under the Bozeman English Language & Literacy Alliance (BELLA) project in collaboration with our community partners; including the Bozeman School District, MSU Modern Languages Department, HRDC, Bienvenidos Community Group and Bozeman Public Library. Measures of Success We believe our program stands out as is it designed to provide service where: ●100% of program delivery hours are in direct support of Bozeman Spanish speaking, low English proficiency families ●100% of program is designed to address needs of entire economically disadvantaged families - either low income or poverty level (youth to adult) ●2600 hours of youth language & literacy learning delivered for up to 35 k-5 students,20 hours per week for 5 weeks ●750 hours of English language skills taught to low proficiency speakers are taught for 3 10-week classes, based on 25 participants per class 3. How the program addresses the negative economic impacts caused by the public health emergency including economic harms to workers and households COVID has disrupted the employment and educational opportunities of many immigrant Latinx families in the Gallatin Valley, who increasingly serve as the backbone of the local hotel, building and restaurant industries. During the height of COVID, many hard working Latinx breadwinners were left unemployed or reduced to part time. As the industries re-opened, many families found it financially necessary for all adults to enter the workforce to make up for the deficit of lost income during shelter-in-place. Due to this, adults in these households were leaving the home early in the mornings and throughout the day during the school year and in the summer; leaving their children unattended and with unstructured time. In addition, Latinx homelessness is at a critical point in Bozeman: 42 English learner (EL) families are currently on the Mckinney Vento homeless list for substandard/overcrowded housing; 4 EL families reside in HRDC’s temporary housing hotel; 6 additional families are on the waitlist for temporary housing. This disadvantaged and fragile Bozeman population, which is already struggling to access English educational opportunities, needs additional support. To improve their income earning potential and to gain more stable employment in Bozeman’s growing economy, these families greatly desire and need to build their English proficiency.In the past, Bozeman has offered free and low-cost evening English classes. But these are no longer available; neither in person nor online. WLI in offering adult evening English language classes online and eventually again in person, will be providing a highly needed opportunity to learn in an appropriate time block based on their work schedule. By offering these classes at no cost, WLI will enable these families to use money for rent and food and other basic survival needs that they are struggling to meet in the Bozeman economy as a result of the pandemic. Additionally, immigrant Latinx children lost valuable schooling access in the 2020-21 academic year. The lack of access to wifi and instruction on how to study remotely with Chrombooks for newcomer Latinx children caused interrupted educational opportunities during the remote learning months of the pandemic. English Learners require face to face instruction to maximize second language growth and competency. This year the necessity for additional remote learning again threatens to wreak havoc as classes are quarantined due to the increased spread of the DELTA variant. In Spring 2021 levels 1 and 2 Latino children scored an average of 19 points behind their school age English-only peers and were predominantly in the lower 25th percentile on standardized tests for Early Literacy and Reading. These young learners will greatly benefit from the BELLA Summer English Language and Literacy program which will edify their English literacy skills so they can excel in school and grow up to fully integrate and become contributing members of the Bozeman community. The BELLA Summer Camp also provides a safe, consistent and positive opportunity for these young newcomers to learn essential skills and build positive relationships with program educators and volunteers. By funding the BELLA Summer English Literacy program, the City of Bozeman is proactively supporting the development of a literate and competent workforce in Bozeman and ensuring equitable access to summer education as well as safe and structured daycare for a segment of our community’s neediest population. It will be an investment that will bring exponential benefits to our community and ensure healthy integration of Latino families into the shared values of our Bozeman community. 4. How much funding is being requested? $52,000 in total:$40,000 to support the WLI 5 week BELLA Summer Literacy Program meeting English language needs for Bozeman Spanish speaking youth; $5,000 for youth and adult online classes; $5,000 in-person family classes; $2,000 for World Language Summer Camp equity in enrichment scholarships to BELLA k-5 students, serving up to 150 Spanish speaking families in Bozeman. 5.How will the funding be distributed to household and or workers The Spanish speaking, limited English proficiency families and households which our English language classes and Summer Camps will serve, will receive economic relief in the savings that they would otherwise be spending on daycare and English language learning costs throughout the year and during the summer for their family. Standard summer camp programs run $250-$300 per week. English language classes run between $10 and 15 per hour. By providing free English literacy camps for 5 weeks in July, each household with 1 child would be saving $1000 that they might otherwise spend in daycare and/or enrichment costs. For every 10 hours of adult language class, each adult will be saving between $100 and $150. Over 3 language education sessions, each adult will save $300-$450. These savings are money each family can effectively use for other purposes that meet the needs unique to their particular economic circumstance and household. 6.What, if any, admin fees will be charged to the program WLI will retain 10% of the grant funds for administration and overhead costs; 90% of the grant received will go to the coordination and delivery of the program. 7.How it will comply with Federal Requirements WLI has experience with federal, state and local grant-making and reporting. WLI has in place an effective program tracking, book-keeping and grant reporting system which will enable us to comply with federal grant reporting requirements. 8.How it will comply with requirements for City reporting Based on our past experience and current plans for grant-making, WLI has in place an effective program tracking, book-keeping and grant reporting system which will enable us to comply with city grant reporting requirements. In addition, due to our experience in youth and adult community program delivery, we have enrollment, employment, and student management systems. 9.How the program addresses equity and the intersectional impacts of COVID-19 for any or all of the following: households below poverty level, people of color, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people with limited English proficiency. Celebrating diversity and a commitment to inclusion is core to WLI’s mission and vision. WLI employs as staff and accepts in its programs people of all race, ethnicity and gender affiliation. Essential to our organization’s values is equitable program opportunity. Since 2013, WLI has devoted additional resources to program delivery in the 3 Bozeman Title I schools. These schools have proportionally higher percentages of people of color and are where family low income and poverty levels are the highest. During our 4 years delivering in the after-school program we created a full and sliding scale scholarship option for families in financial need so that no student was turned away. We continue our inclusive and equitable work through this proposed English Language education delivery program by making all of these programs available at no-fee, to the Latinx/Hispanic limited English proficient, low income and poverty level members of our community. 5.0 Additional Materials List of Additional Materials ●Annual Report 2019/20 ●WLI - BELLA Brochure ●WLI - Small Groups Brochure ●Bozeman Public Library - Letter of Support ●Bozeman School District, EL Coordinator - Letter of Support ●Bienvenidos Community Group - Letter of Support WLI-MT prepares citizens for a world where multilingualism and multiculturalism is a path to personal and professional fulfillment and success. We build community through immersive language and culture programming for all ages that inspires interest, curiosity, and skill building. Mission OVERVIEW WLI-MT is a non-profit organization focused on language & culture education Vision We envision a world where every Montana citizen experiences/understands the value of multilingualism and multiculturalism WLI-MT establishes partnerships with Bozeman- area schools to find innovative solutions for in- school day and after-school world language & culture education. Our programs focus on building an affinity for second languages & cultures through interactive and engaging comprehensible input teaching models. Our language coaches speak in the target languages at least 75%-95% of the time, making our programs truly immersive. In 2019-20, we provided second language education to over 1,400 Bozeman-area community members through our programming. OUR FOCUS Second Language Education Exposure to Culture Community Events & Programming OUR APPROACH The WLI-MT teaching approach focuses on what we call "The 3 As" : Affinity, Aptitude, & Acquisition. We believe that by sparking an affinity for language & culture, students, no matter what age, are more likely to continue on their second language journeys and grow towards acquiring proficiency in the language. Our coaches use a play-based teaching model that is engaging & fun, while using a comprehensible input model in which our coaches stay in the target language at least 75% of the time. Coaches create immersive lesson plans tied to language and culture focusing on traditional art, food, and activities. Affinity Aptitude Acquistion Our main goal is to spark an affinity and life-long curiosity around world languages and cultures. We focus on play-based activities, keeping our classes novel, engaging, and fun. Through our classes and programs students develop an aptitude for language learning based on a feeling of safety, repetition, and growing familiarity with language learning. Finally, in our program students begin the life- long journey towards language acquisition and proficiency by building a reservoir of familiar vocabulary and phrases.

Send resumé & statement of interest to info@wlimt.org To whom it may concern: We at Bozeman Public Library are happy to offer a letter of support for the World Language Initiative as they seek funding from the CARES act offered by the City of Bozeman. Bozeman Public Library’s mission to facilitate opportunities to explore, connect, and inspire curiosity in our community and beyond lends itself well to creating a robust partnership with the World Language Initiative (WLI). Offering classes and programs in conjunction with WLI advances our mission as well as their goals of bringing language and culture to our growing community. Our busy library serves patrons of all ages and demographics and WLI’s proposed programs, especially those focusing on English Language Learners of all ages as well as foreign language classes and conversation tables, are well suited to the needs of our community. Through our efforts with bilingual storytimes, as well as visiting different, far-reaching neighborhoods in our community with our Bookmobile and our outreach programs, we have seen firsthand the changing demographics in our community as it continues to grow and diversify. We fully support the World Language Initiative’s future programs and mission and we are excited to collaborate with them in the near future. Sincerely, Corey Fifles, BPL Programming and Outreach Librarian Kit Stephenson, BPL Assistant Director September 27, 2021 Dear City of Bozeman ARAP RFP Managers: As the English Learner (EL) coordinator in the Bozeman School District serving 245+ students of whom 170 are Latinx, I am thrilled by the possibility that our Latinx EL population may receive funding support from the COB American Rescue Act. I have witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of COVID on this community both physically and financially. Our newcomer immigrant EL families from Honduras, all who lived below the poverty level, have lost dearly needed wages due to contracting the virus or having to stay home with children who have been quarantined. Many of our ELs work in the restaurant and hotel industries so when those businesses are shut down due to outbreaks or periods of waning tourism related to COVID, our EL families find themselves in complete financial crisis with no safety net. They are the most vulnerable population in our Bozeman community. Additionally, COVID has resulted in the unprecedented rise in rents being charged in Bozeman. Even the trailer parks have disproportionately raised trailer rental prices. As a result, it is common that multiple EL families are living in a two bedroom mobile home trailer that can cost $2000 in rent. Crowded EL homes only complicate the transmission of COVID as EL families struggle to stay healthy to continue to work, so it is a never ending cycle of emotional, physical and financial stress for these families. Currently, 46 English Learner families are on the McKinney Vento program list due to homelessness or severely overcrowded housing. We are working closely with HRDC and Family Promise to try to address this housing crisis, but they are also stretched. The support of Elizabeth Williamson and the World Language Initiative MT organization have been an absolute Godsend over the past year. They raised funds and created partnerships to run the BELLA Summer Literacy Program to support 28 Latino children who need English language and literacy instruction. WLI is finding ways to provide online evening ESL classes for their parents who dearly want to learn English and assimilate and achieve their dreams in our Bozeman community. The Bozeman School District is so grateful to the WLI/BELLA organization because our EL numbers have almost doubled in the past 5 years, and there is no state budget line allotted to support the intensive educational needs of this growing population. The federal government allots $132 dollars per EL student, but that does not begin to cover the staffing and instructional costs of EL programming. Our district pays for 1 FT EL coordinator, 1 full time EL teacher and an aide, but with over 250 students in need of linguistic/academic support, we are left shorthanded now that a fourth of our ELs are level 1 newcomers to English. Only 2 state legislatures across the entire US, Montana and Mississippi , do not fund EL programs at a level similar to that of Special Education. As a result, there is a huge need for summer literacy and evening ESL programming that WLI/BELLA has generously stepped in to provide. By supporting the WLI/BELLA initiatives, the City Bozeman will be taking a vitally important step to support education and the shared values we cherish in our Bozeman community. This grant will promote oral and written English literacy within a population that is setting down roots in Bozeman. Supporting the education and integration of these immigrant families is a win -win for the Bozeman Community as a whole! Ellen Guettler Ellen Guettler M.ED., M.ELL English Learner Coordinator Bozeman Public Schools Dear Commissioners,Sept. 27, 2021 I am writing on behalf of the BELLA Summer Camp program, sponsored by the World Language Initiative, that provides English learning and enrichment activities for ESL children. I served as a volunteer this past summer and was able to observe the benefits for the children I taught. I am also a volunteer for Bienvendos, the organization formed last year to aid our newly arrived immigrant families. We provide emotional support, mentoring, and help in accessing community resources, as well as tutoring and teaching English for adults and children. As a mentor, I serve three different families, who have a total of 7 children in the Bozeman Public schools. These children are bright and eager to learn, but they need help in learning English. During the BELLA summer program in July of this year, they became more confident in speaking English, loved the songs we sang every day, and increased their vocabulary. I have seen the pride their parents show when I speak English with their children in front of them. BELLA offers a very needed service for these children. Many of them struggled last year to learn online due to Covid restrictions and parental fears of being in large groups of children. BELLA gives them the opportunity to have lots of individual attention, maintain the learning from the school year, and begin the next school year speaking more English and feeling more confident. Working closely with these immigrant families has given me first–hand knowledge of how hard they struggle to make ends meet, to build a new, safe life for themselves, and to become a part of the larger community. These families are here, contributing to the construction, restaurant, and hospitality sectors of our community. They are providing needed workers and through bringing more diversity to this community will enhance Bozeman for all of us.
