Bio

Jordan age 13 launched The Children's Bilingual Theater at age 10 as a 5th grader at Sedalia Park School. The theatre’s mission is to bridge the language and cultural gap of ESOL students and students learning Spanish. Jordan works to help improve Spanish speakers’ English skills and English speakers’ Spanish skills while both benefit from participating in theatre. Theater volunteers also work as literacy advocates through out metro Atlanta. The company has produced 3 bilingual musicals and has performed to over 3000 audience members and is proud to have had over 95 volunteers.

Goals

  • I launched a venture more than a year ago and want help to keep it going and growing
  • I have started a venture and want to share insights
  • I want to reach out to YV alumni

Interests

Guestbook

The Children's Bilingual Theater is ready to grow. We launched The Children's Bilingual Theater with a mission of bridging the language and cultural gap of ESOL students and students learning Spanish. We embrace language, culture and most of all work with our community to communicate tolerance through theater. Right now we work in Spanish and English but as we grow in an international community like metro Atlanta our future sees no boundaries. The company has produced 3 bilingual musicals and has performed to over 3000 audience members and is proud to have had over 100 volunteers. – J.

    Hey Jordan!

    So I finally have a website! Unfortunately, I'm having trouble getting it to come up on google and other search engines. Do you know how to fix it so that it will?

    Thanks!
