Connecting the world

Get Involved

LJL was founded in 2020 to make language learning technology accessible to all students. We accelerate English learning of refugees & immigrant children by providing bilingual content support at scale by leveraging natural language processing technology. We support students who are traditionally underrepresented in technology to bridge the education gap at its root for generations to come. Our goal is to enact long-term change by empowering students to be changemakers.

Any contributions from you  – an hour of your time, a few dollars, or a little bit of energy – will go a long way and make a huge difference in these students’ lives!

We're HIRING!

These are the specific areas where the Linguistics Justice League needs your support. Any contributions will be greatly appreciated!
