The NCLG is a non-profit organization sponsored and funded by donations from numerous state and national classical associations, whom it represents in its advocacy. Over 40 years ago it was formed to serve as a forum to identify nationwide needs and as a force for planning and implementing new strategies and programs in Latin and Greek Studies to better serve our nation’s teachers and students on all levels. It responds to both crises and opportunities in the Classics community and seeks to represent all students, teachers, and organizations with equity and energy. The NCLG also seeks to dialogue with similar organizations and counterparts around the globe.
The NCLG strives to advocate throughout the year in Washington, DC and regionally in support of legislation on second language education and current initiatives as a participant in the ongoing advocacy of JNCL and NCLIS, the Joint National Committee on Languages (JNCL) and the National Council for Languages and International Studies (NCLIS). It has held a seat on the Joint National Committee on Languages Board of Directors for over 40 years. This seat allows us a unique position to advocate for the study of Latin, Greek and Ancient Studies at schools and universities across the US. The NCLG seeks to be a voice to our government on behalf of ALL Latin and Greek students and teachers, specifically, as well as supporting efforts to secure funding and maintain full access for ALL students to the study of English and at least one second language. It supports the value of language study as an integral part of K-16 education.
