HindiUSA
HindiUSA,[1] is a non-profit and entirely volunteer-managed organization in the United States. With more than 4000 members, it is one of the largest Hindi volunteer groups in America. As of today, HindiUSA has been engaged in teaching Hindi and offering community services in the Tri-State for over 8 years. HindiUSA promotes Hindi language at the grass roots level by offering a broad spectrum of educational programs in the languages and cultures[2] of India for students of all ages. The program features nine levels from Kindergarten to Graduation at Honors. The curriculum consists of well-established programs in Hindi and is delivered via time tested syllabus and books tailored for Indian-American children. Since its inception, the organization has strived to develop a sense of cultural pride in the students by familiarizing them to the Indian arts, customs, language, history, and keeping them abreast of current events. Adults volunteer on their own time, without salary, to teach children about Hindi, to children of all ages. The course is very drilled to the perfection for children of all age groups, there are separate levels for each age group. This is comparable to the Chinese schools in America. The classes are held on Fridays. Annually, HindiUSA also hosts several large events, such as Hindi festivals, where students from each class perform. These festivals have also recently been broadcast on TV Asia.

Mission / Objective
Over the last 10 years the organization has been key in promoting the Indian culture and Hindi language to the many Indian-Americans whose ancestral roots lie in India. In our ongoing efforts we are working with the local school districts to establish Hindi as a foreign language, much like Spanish, German, and French.
History
HindiUSA first school started in 2001 by a family with few kids. After 3 years there were 7 schools. Currently more than 35 schools across Tri-State area are operating.
