Noon – 1 p.m., Today

The presentation on the Mentor-Apprentice Program (MAP) highlights how it promotes language fluency and cultural understanding by pairing native community speakers with UA student language learners through a culturally rooted mentorship approach. This model is guided by principles of kinship and relationality, which strengthen learners’ connections to their culture and identity, ensuring the continuation of cultural heritage.
