CMLC Mission: Growing justice and belonging cross-culturally with international, immigrant, refugee, and intersecting communities.

CMLC Vision: The Corvallis Multicultural Literacy Center believes everyone is both a teacher and learner, and that together we can create a more just world through cross-cultural sharing and connection.

In the past year (July 2024 - June 2025), the Corvallis Multicultural Literacy Center (CMLC) has made a remarkable impact on our community:
  • 265 students* enrolled in English classes of all levels, along with other workshops like "How to Get a Job in the USA" and cultural cooking. These students, coming from 46 countries, united to learn a new language and adapt to their new environment.
  • 103 individuals participated in the Conversation Partner Program, enhancing their English skills and building meaningful friendships.
  • 17 individuals received information and study materials to support their future citizenship applications and 12 successfully obtained their citizenship.
  • 163 Immigration Legal Clinic consultations provided** where everyone was able to get the information and legal support they needed.

Learning English, finding employment, or achieving citizenship can be truly transformative—opening doors to greater opportunities and deeper connections within the community. At CMLC, we go beyond offering support. We create a welcoming space where everyone can feel at home, build friendships, develop a sense of belonging, and thrive in a new environment. Each year, CMLC also hosts a variety of cultural events, community gatherings, and a cultural summer camp for youth ages 6–12.

With a sliding-scale fee structure, we ensure that our programs remain accessible to all.
Your donations are vital to sustaining these efforts, allowing us to continue making a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and families and enriching our community!
