 The
Italian Cultural Society
Italian Language
Incentive
The Italian Cultural Society
is a nonprofit 501 (c) (3) organization which serves the
community and works to promote and preserve the study of
Italian Language and Culture. Our programs provide unique
opportunities to strengthen our Italian American community
and celebrate Italian Culture. The Italian Cultural Society
welcomes people of all backgrounds to learn Italian and
participate in Italian Culture.
Funding Available to
Public and Private
Schools for Italian Language
Northern and Central California,
Sacramento, Stockton, San Francisco and Bay Area Schools
can offer their students the opportunity to study Italian.
Thanks, in part, to a contribution from the Italian Ministry
of Foreign Affairs (MAE) more children in Northern California,
the Central Valley and the entire San Francisco BayArea
Region have the opportunity to study Italian. The Italian
Cultural Society and the
Italian Consulate in San Francisco are working together
to encourage the study of Italian in the United States.
Directors Patrizia Cinquini and Tonia Prencipe administer
this incentive funding program for elementary Italian instruction
in California schools for children from preschool to ninth
grade. All schools within this very large region are strongly
encouraged to
apply for incentive funding and give students the opportunity
to learn Italian. There are so
many important reasons to teach a second language in
the early years of a child's life and Italian is arguably
the easiest language for children to learn. This incentive
funding allows schools a unique opportunity to provide their
students with the benefits
to learning Italian.
