Save Cantonese is in an active collaboration with UC Berkeley to turn the university into a center of academic and cultural study of Cantonese. UC Berkeley has the premier East Asian language study center in North America. Cantonese is a fledgling program within the language center, and needs support to reach the status of its peer languages. Our eventual vision is to support not just Cantonese, but also Taiwanese and other growing language programs. Will you be the one to help Cantonese grow its wings and fly?

Donate to the Cantonese expansion at UC Berkeley! Our immediate goal is to create a second Cantonese lecturer position, which will extend the existing one-year program to a three-year program. Our long-term goal is to grow the program to benefit Cantonese diasporas locally and globally. Cantonese is the most widely spoken non-English language in the Bay Area, and Berkeley is one of the few universities here that offers Cantonese. Berkeley's Cantonese classes consistently reach and exceed course capacity. so we need your help to expand the program! Visit https://give.berkeley.edu/fund/FN7754000 to support the program.
