<p data-block-key="vnoe6">This spring, NYCPS, in collaboration with community-based organizations, is hosting <a href="https://sites.google.com/schools.nyc.gov/ml-immigrantstudentsupport/for-families/family-opportunities#h.9zipky5i2x4o">GenConnect</a>, an eight-week intergenerational program in select languages (currently in Arabic, Bengali, Chinese-Mandarin, Hausa, and Spanish) that brings multilingual students/English language learners (MLs/ELLs) and their families together to strengthen family-school partnerships while building advocacy, leadership, literacy, and social-emotional skills. Each community-based organization hosts the program in the home language of the community it serves. Through engaging, culturally responsive activities offered in families’ home languages, the program creates a welcoming space where families can connect with one another, support their children’s learning, and build confidence navigating and advocating within the school system.</p><p data-block-key="5su45">Interested families should review the flyers below to learn more about the program and how to register.</p><ul><li data-block-key="el1o4"><a href="https://sites.google.com/schools.nyc.gov/ml-immigrantstudentsupport/for-families/family-opportunities#h.9zipky5i2x4o">English</a></li><li data-block-key="d1h8h"><a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1GZipetz_kCoodq0r_MXGiiMKXHubJq_v?usp=drive_link">Arabic</a></li><li data-block-key="8dl5c"><a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1aajt3Hb9yrJB8J44PBuxt_bPmokeRyhf?usp=drive_link">Bengali</a></li><li data-block-key="8ks30"><a href="https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1FBzDF2HhXX80Eboew80wW5uMWneqiEf3?usp%3Dsharing&data=05%7c02%7cKChowdhury10%40schools.nyc.gov%7c1d47a74945dc4399e8c408de806afb91%7c18492cb7ef45456185710c42e5f7ac07%7c0%7c0%7c639089394128704656%7cUnknown%7cTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7c0%7c%7c%7c&sdata=%2BpoUGHuQ2rGMQz4rkVZjKTp2ung7AlTcmHRgVjmnN2E%3D&reserved=0">Chinese-Mandarin</a></li><li data-block-key="3fs57"><a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1jL2EJRxAaAxkynEvwAbmRIgscF7-mCZs?usp=drive_link">Hausa</a></li><li data-block-key="bet53"><a href="https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1A__qXcIqcmg5wwlNx17lrt_73_qJesV9?usp%3Dsharing&data=05%7c02%7cKChowdhury10%40schools.nyc.gov%7c1d47a74945dc4399e8c408de806afb91%7c18492cb7ef45456185710c42e5f7ac07%7c0%7c0%7c639089394128747918%7cUnknown%7cTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7c0%7c%7c%7c&sdata=ZOC3wNDZAyHoSv7yqnD2CEnJPValAccHhNq5%2BvPwAwE%3D&reserved=0">Spanish</a></li></ul>
