A free mobile-focused language tool to help new arrivals to the city.
Chicago has welcomed over 40,000 migrants who have made extraordinary sacrifices to come to the U.S. for a better life. Their success begins with learning English. But getting kids into school where they’ll learn these language skills takes some time. And for adults, there is no clear path to learn.
Smartphones are migrants' lifelines connecting them to vital resources online.
Link migrants to an English education website to facilitate learning that opens doors to a brighter future, empowering them through language to shape their destiny with their newfound voice.
With this program, migrants can access ChiGoIngles from out of home ads across the city. Postcards will be distributed in the shelters along with backpacks for kids full of activity books and art supplies.
With a few simple questions, users can set up a profile based on their age and ability. Lessons can be tailored for young children or adults giving the entire family access and the flexibility to advance as needed.
