SayPro, in partnership with the United States Peace Corps, is providing resources for Indigenous language education to preserve cultural identity and strengthen community cohesion. SayPro recognizes that many Indigenous languages are endangered due to colonization, urbanization, and lack of institutional support. Through community collaboration, SayPro develops teaching materials, trains educators, and creates platforms for Indigenous youth to learn and speak their ancestral languages. Peace Corps volunteers support in resource development and outreach. SayPro believes that language is not only communication — it is culture, history, and belonging.
SayPro works with local elders and linguists to document oral traditions, translate stories, and create bilingual curriculum resources. SayPro distributes Indigenous language books, posters, and audio recordings in schools and homes. Peace Corps volunteers help record interviews, digitize content, and support language learning sessions. SayPro uses these resources in both formal and non-formal education settings to ensure the language survives in daily use. These initiatives reconnect youth with their roots and instill pride in their heritage.
SayPro also supports Indigenous teachers by offering training in language pedagogy, curriculum development, and digital literacy. SayPro ensures that language education is embedded in broader cultural revitalization efforts, including storytelling festivals, traditional music, and ceremonial practices. Peace Corps helps organize language camps and cultural days that celebrate Indigenous knowledge. SayPro creates safe spaces where Indigenous languages are spoken with joy, not shame — and where children learn that their identity is a strength, not a setback.
SayPro measures impact through language retention rates, student participation, and community feedback. Peace Corps helps track resource usage and supports continuous program improvement. SayPro advocates for Indigenous language recognition in national curricula and education budgets. Together, SayPro and the Peace Corps are ensuring that Indigenous languages — and the cultures they carry — do not fade into silence, but flourish through education, empowerment, and pride.
