A Multicultural Vision
Northwest Foundation of Washington is committed to developing formative
education, community and quality of life research projects such as immigrant
families’ assimilation and access to education resources. We recently embarked
on a pilot program which involves a series of targeted mini surveys. Volunteer
undergraduate students will help with these assessments. Our focus hopes to
continue and contribute to multicultural discussions encompassing housing and
basic needs for at risk families, who seek a better life for their children.
The primary purposes of these assessments are to determine:
*  The degree to which learning issues exist for non native English speakers
*  Matchmaking those resources available for our clients
*  The best approaches to meet the needs of at risk immigrant communities
The first such assessment was developed in part by Northwest Foundation of
Washington founder Jeom Ja Yeo M.Ed. In a presentation at the prestigious Asia
TESOL conference in Seoul, Seattle University’s Dr. Yang and Ms Yeo explored
"Guessing" a technique known to the world of English learners.
You Can Make the Difference
Volunteers are a vital part of Northwest Foundation of Washington. We welcome
individuals, employee and church groups, students and former clients donate
