Welcome to the Multicultural Connect! A gathering of multicultural information for residents living in Suffolk County, Long Island, New York area and beyond. Several goals are intended for this useful blog:
* To serve as a resource to keep current on information regarding English language learning as well as learning other world languages.
* To share information to newcomers to our country and our community.
* And to learn what organizations have been doing to help serve diverse communities.

Long Island Language Advocates Coalition


"LILAC (Long Island Language Advocates Coalition) is a coalition of individuals and organizations based on Long Island who are concerned about the unequal access to programs, such as health care, law enforcement, social services and justice through the courts, by persons with limited English proficiency.   We seek to assure that this population receives full and equal access to programs and services. We aim to do this by highlighting the systemic issues that create barriers to meaningful access, advocating for the removal of these barriers, and educating on the advantages of systemic change"
