With language skills growing in importance in the job market, yet fewer than 1 in 10 Americans able to speak a second language, a diverse group of private and nonprofit partners spanning the education, business and foundation sectors joined forces in March 2017 to launch Lead with Languages.

Lead with Languages is an unprecedented national movement aimed at highlighting the growing importance of language skills and making language proficiency a national priority. The campaign seeks to raise awareness across the U.S. and motivate people to take action around the rapidly rising importance of language skills to a wide array of careers—and to our nation’s economy, national security and international standing.

The campaign’s ultimate goal is to inspire a new generation of Americans competent in other languages and cultures and fully equipped to compete and succeed in a global economy.
