TACT strongly supports Cantonese-English biliteracy skills within our youth. In the face of rising budget cuts, we have set up an on-going fundraising account to support Cantonese Biliteracy teachers who would like to purchase supplemental materials to enrich their classrooms. This program will continue as long as there is sufficient funding. To support this effort, donate here.
TACT is offering grants, up to $200, for teachers in the Cantonese Biliteracy Program who are TACT members (only $10/year: https://www.tactsf.org/membership). Please complete this simple grant application if you are interested.
