The Fall Congress serves as a key milestone in UNICO National's **INSIEME Program**, an innovative national initiative designed to strengthen Italian language, culture, service, and leadership development in U.S. high schools. Developed in collaboration with the **Embassy of Italy in Washington, D.C.** and the **John D. Calandra Italian American Institute**, the program combines classroom learning with mentorship, community service, cultural engagement, and leadership opportunities for students. The Congress will convene educational and community leaders to discuss strategies for expanding and sustaining Italian language programs, increasing student engagement, and building stronger partnerships between schools, universities, community organizations, and Italian institutions. The event is expected to attract school administrators, Italian language educators, students, UNICO National leadership, Italian Embassy and Consular representatives, Calandra Institute scholars, and prominent members of the Italian American community. "INSIEME represents a bold vision for the future of Italian language education in America," said **Brian Guarco, President of UNICO National**. "By connecting educators, students, families, and community leaders, we are creating opportunities that extend beyond the classroom and inspire the next generation to embrace the Italian language, cultural heritage, and the values of leadership and service." The Fall Congress will introduce administrators to grant opportunities that support Italian language programs, provide information on professional development resources for educators, present the INSIEME program framework and its alignment with school curricula, and establish a regional network of schools committed to expanding Italian studies. The program will also highlight opportunities for student leadership development, mentorship, community service, and engagement with accomplished Italian American professionals. "INSIEME is more than a language initiative; it is a community for the next generation," said **Anthony Marucci, National Chair of INSIEME**. "Through education, mentorship, service, and cultural engagement, we are helping students develop meaningful connections, gain leadership skills, and discover how Italian heritage and values can make a lasting impact on their futures." The INSIEME Program provides schools and students access to grant funding opportunities, educator professional development, leadership programs, mentorship, institutional partnerships, and a nationwide network of support. The initiative seeks to preserve and promote Italian language and culture while preparing students to become future leaders within their communities and professions. The event's theme, **"Join Us in Building the Future,"** reflects UNICO National's commitment to expanding access to Italian language education, preserving cultural heritage, and inspiring the next generation through service and leadership.
