Culture and Language Introduction Program

CLIP students sing a Hindi song

The Einaudi Center’s Culture and Language Introduction Program (CLIP), formerly known as the Foreign Language Introduction Program, has introduced thousands of children in Upstate New York to world languages and cultures.

Multilingual volunteers from Cornell and surrounding communities facilitate language and culture lessons for K–12 students to learn about and engage with our increasingly interconnected world.
