Why this work needs partners
The Yorùbá Language Program teaches language, culture, and Odù Ifá literacy to diaspora learners through live instruction, a twelve-unit progressive curriculum, and purpose-built digital tools. Tuition keeps the program running, but partners determine how far it can reach: temples that want a managed learning environment, communities that want to fund learners who cannot pay, and institutions that want to invest in diaspora language transmission.

Ways to partner
Temple & Institutional Licensing
From $50/month · 5 seats
Give your temple, school, or cultural organization a managed learning environment: a shared dashboard, centralized billing, optional custom curriculum injection, and pay-as-you-go credit packs for Ifá Scribe minutes and Companion tokens.
- Shared instructor dashboard with cohort visibility
- Centralized billing instead of per-student collection
- Optional custom curriculum injection for your lineage
- Scalable seat pricing beyond the 5-seat baseline
Community Sponsorship
Flexible · per learner or per cohort
Sponsor seats for learners who cannot afford monthly tuition. Sponsors can fund an individual student, a full asynchronous cohort, or a temple youth group — with progress reporting back to the sponsor.
- Fund individual learners or entire cohorts
- Priority fit: youth and heritage-family learners
- Term-length commitments available
- Sponsor-visible progress summaries

For universities, researchers, and cultural institutions: curriculum collaboration, guest instruction, shared research on diaspora language transmission, and co-developed digital resources built on the Ifá Scribe toolkit.
- Curriculum and assessment collaboration
- Guest lectures and workshop delivery
- Diaspora language-transmission research
- Co-developed digital study resources
