The Union Maya prioritizes building strong connections between generations, fostering mentorship, and creating opportunities for the transfer of language and cultural knowledge from elders to youth. We recognize the interconnected nature of language, culture, and overall well-being. Our approach encompasses not only linguistic revitalization but also the holistic development of individuals and communities.
We actively seek partnerships with Indigenous organizations, educational institutions, and other stakeholders to leverage collective strengths, share resources, and enhance the impact of our initiatives. We are committed to creating sustainable programs and resources that endure over time, ensuring the continued growth and vitality of Indigenous languages and cultures.
