BUENO at 50: Honoring Our Roots, Growing Our Future

For 50 years, the BUENO Center has been nurturing community, language, and the futures of culturally and linguistically diverse students and the educators who serve them. We’ve worked alongside schools and families to create spaces where students can bring their full selves, their language, identity, and culture, into learning. This work has always been rooted in the community, and it continues because people choose to invest in it.

As we approach our 50th anniversary celebration (September 24, 2026), we invite you to be part of what comes next, to help us continue building classrooms and communities grounded in multilingualism, belonging, and opportunity.

🌱Join us in celebrating 50 years…and growing what comes next.
