Powering OLI's Mission

Every day, millions are shut out of vital services simply because they don’t speak the dominant language. The Open Language Initiative aims to change that.

Every member of the OLI community—whether they are a volunteer, a dedicated operational contributor, or a financial supporter—is vital to our success. Your involvement, in whatever form it takes, directly fuels our mission to break down language barriers and empower nonprofits to achieve their public benefit goals. Simply put, your time and resources are the foundation of our ability to make a global impact.

Our global team of expert volunteers breaks down language barriers so that refugees, migrants, and vulnerable communities can access healthcare, education, hope, and even basic human rights.
