Biography
Gilberto will work with MORI to create a program to cut down the long wait list (up to 2 years, depending on the region in MA) for immigrants to be able to enroll in an ELL program. MORI would like to change that by providing more ELL classes/training. Gilberto would develop a funding proposal and then pitch it to federal, state, and municipal governments and possibly private donors.
