NCLG-Home
Welcome to the Website of the
National Committee for Latin and Greek
Advocacy ~ Support ~ Resources
The NCLG is a non-profit organization sponsored and funded by numerous state and national associations. It serves as a forum to identify nationwide needs and as a force for planning and implementing new strategies and programs in Latin and Greek Studies to better serve teachers and students on all levels. It responds to both crises and opportunities in the Classics community and seeks to represent all with equity and energy. The NCLG also seeks to dialogue with similar organizations and counterparts around the globe.
The NCLG lobbies throughout the year in Washington, DC, in support of legislation on second language education and current initiatives as a participant in the ongoing advocacy of JNCL and NCLIS. It holds a seat on the Joint National Committee on Languages Board of Directors.
The NCLG seeks to be a voice to our government on behalf of Latin and Greek students and teachers, specifically, as well as helping to secure funding and maintain full access for ALL students to the study of English and at least one second language. It supports the value of language study as an integral part of K-16 education. If you wish to become involved in the work of the committee in this local, state and national advocacy, please contact us. Also, you can click the sidebar "JNCL-NCLIS ADVOCACY."

NCLG is funded by DONATIONS
Please consider a donation in any amount, to support our mission. NCLG sent 7 members to lobby Congress with JNCL-NCLIS for the right of every student to study a second language and to support language education. See our PAGE for a folder of ADVOCACY INFORMATION and WRITE YOUR CONGRESS MEMBERS.
You can donate to the NCLG using this form on the American Classical League site. You must put “NCLG” in the gift designation box. You may also contact our Treasurer, Dan McGlathery, at mcglatheryd@gmail.com to mail checks directly. A large part of the money donated to the NCLG goes toward JNCL-NCLIS membership and advocacy efforts, but we also use donations to offer several small grants, materials, and panel presentations. These contributions are vital in keeping the voice of the Classics in the national dialogue concerning language and education. A recent letter about our current projects can be read HERE. Thank you for your support!
