neighborhoods…

• Loss of meaningful interactions…
• Loss of richness of immigrant culture
• No awareness of deep structure American
culture...
Building America’s Villages

between immigrant Americans and
American-born Americans..
• Learn English as a second language
• Create an inclusive neighborhood culture
• Based on a model developed for 25 years at

and American-born
Americans participate
in them…

Americans and
American-born

leading to a sense of
community and
connectedness.
