Your GLSC Membership is Your Support of German Language Instruction

Being part of the only nationwide organization serving the interests of community-based German language schools in the United States demonstrates your commitment to our common goals of maintaining and fostering the language and culture of German-speaking countries in the US. Nationwide German language programs continue to be cut or eliminated. There is no better time to make a commitment – to your school, its students, their parents, and to the GLSC, whose mission it is to effectively advocate for the future of German schools in this country.
