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 donations from numerous state and national associations, whom it represents. 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 YOUR DONATIONS

Please support our advocacy efforts

Please read about our advocacy, grants, materials, and panels and consider a donation in any amount, to support our mission.These contributions are vital in keeping the voice of the Latin and Greek in the national dialogue concerning language and education.  Use 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, 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 three types of small grants, materials, and panel presentations. A recent letter about our current projects can be read HERE. Thank you for your support!
