THE LINGUISTIC COMMUNICATION DEVELOPMENT CENTER
WHO ARE WE
Communicators with Heart
Effective communication awakens the senses, solves conflicts, ignites relationships, and builds trust. Invested in the project of social evolution, the Linguistic Communication Development Center teaches literacies for navigating global connections.
​
Let us develop paths to enhance your transcultural communication to align with the challenges presented by interconnected cultural ecologies. We develop customized needs-based educational programs that improve the efficacy of written, verbal, and digital communication.
​
The LCD Center welcomes everyone. We are driven by a structural commitment to gender-affirming, diplomatic, race-conscious language across humanity’s spectrum. We serve African Diasporic, Indigenous, Latin Diasporic, Desi American, and Pacific Islander communities and welcome more.
​
​Our goal is to help strengthen communication across cultures through equitable education that cultivates our capacities to listen, reflect, and convey meaning in today's technology ecology.
Our Mission
The Linguistic Communication Development Center urges socially vulnerable communities toward social evolution through culturally aware communication. We develop innovative, needs-based educational programs that improve the quality of written, verbal, and digital communication for communities disadvantaged by the digital divide. We also offer low-cost education services for building written and digital literacy skills, including document completion assistance, professional writing, and meticulous editing.
The Center aims to uplift historically underserved communities across the intersections of identity, including those who identify as African or Black American, Asian, Black, Desi, Indigenous, Latinx, and Pacific Islander, LGBTQIA+, and older adults, so they can be emboldened to free their voice. We value the power of self-expression and the cultivation of individual agency because we believe that by empowering the individual, we strengthen the community.
PROGRAMS
The Linguistic Communication Development Center's innovative approaches enhance cross border communication competence, a purpose that drives our effort to solidify a culturally diverse local community. We aim to transform lives, as we work to advance social evolution.
​
We recognize that it takes more than compassion and intention to bring our vision to life. Meeting our goals requires faith in lofty ideals, quantitative data, and material resources. Learn more about what we intend and how we develop programs. Perhaps you are meant to help us improve the ways communities relate, one to another.
