Pennsylvania government works best when everyone can get important information from Commonwealth agencies in a language they understand. The Language Access Management Program (LAMP) empowers state agencies to deliver high quality language access services to Pennsylvanians by building and sharing capacity, tools, and best practices.
Why it matters
LAMP helps:
- Connect people to critical information on public safety and vital government services
- Support small businesses and entrepreneurs by making it easier for them to get government information and services they need
- Build stronger communities by making government information accessible to all
What we do
LAMP helps state agencies make sure Pennsylvanians can:
- Get key information in multiple languages
- Find translated materials in their communities and on state websites
- Receive effective services from staff trained to work with high-quality, professional language services
How we’re taking action
We are:
- Supporting Commonwealth service providers in offering access to language resources to translate materials like brochures, flyers, and website content
- Training staff across agencies
