Saral Nepali Language and Culture Center (SNLCC) started with a small dream of teaching the children from Nepali diaspora along with the foreigners who are interested in learning Nepali Language and culture. The school was founded by a few like-minded Nepalese women who were concerned about the inability to speak the language and know about the culture of their US born children. Unofficially, the
school started in a rented room of a Karate Studio on September 17, 2016, with 9 students in Elmhurst, New York. With the help and guidance of the parents, the center was officially registered in the year 2018 as a nonprofit organization. The school has its own executive board, and it executes school activities in a participatory manner. The board meets regularly for planning and implementation of school activities. Every two years, the board holds the election of new board members. The school has its Bylaws and Articles of organization which is the school’s operational manual. All the administrative costs are supported by voluntary contribution from the board members, parents, and volunteers. The school has its own bank account with three signatories, with two mandatory signatories. Even though it was not required, in order to maintain transparency and accountability, the board decided for two mandatory signatories. Our Mission:
