About YoSoy
Spanish plays a vital role in our family and community life, forging emotional bonds and cultural connections across generations.
Living away from their countries of origin, Spanish-speaking families seek resources and materials to connect their children with their cultural and linguistic heritage, strengthening their sense of identity and belonging.
Why Choose YoSoy
YoSoy is a unique and innovative interdisciplinary program, based on research, founded by a passionate team of educators and parents. Its goal is to empower the identities of young Spanish and bilingual children while nurturing family and community connections.
The name "YoSoy" (which means "I am") is a palindrome, reflecting the idea that "between here and there, children can confidently declare, 'YoSoy who I want to be.'"
Together, We’ve Created An Enrichment Program That Provides Students With Opportunities To Nurture Their Bilingual Identity
Our curriculum is the result of a collaborative effort based on an interdisciplinary pedagogy developed by Dr. María Luisa Parra (Harvard University), who has over 10 years of experience teaching Spanish to Latino children and youth in the U.S. and expertise in advocating for cultural identity development, protection, and socioemotional well-being through language use; Marcela Fritzler (Sin Fronteras), dedicated to teaching Spanish in the context of Europe and Asia, is the author of LE/L2 and LH materials; and Gabriel Badillo (Hola Combo), who, through his animation work, understands that images have cultural significance and serve as an intrinsic part of any educational project.

Legend Series
Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano says that legends are sources of knowledge that preserve and narrate fundamental stories of our Latin American peoples, which would otherwise be lost.
Our first series, "Legends," takes readers to: The Legend of the Coquí (Puerto Rico), The Legend of the Volcanoes (Mexico), and The Legend of the Quetzal (Guatemala).
Our upcoming volumes will include legends from the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Peru, and much more...
