SPAN-301S: SERVICE LEARNING IN THE LATINO COMMUNITY
This course is part of your Spanish language learning experience, and offers you the opportunity to interact in a personal way with members of the local Latino community, thereby enriching your understanding of Hispanic cultures and the Spanish language. As a community-based learning experience, the course provides students with career-related experience working collaboratively with community agencies to address community concerns / issues.
Unlike other classes, Service Learning or Latino community service was directly hands-on the job. During the whole semester I interacted with my Latino community for about eight weeks. I was part of the Citizenship Project which involved tutoring and teaching the people who were getting ready to take their citizenship exam. These eight weeks were very rewarding from an academic and a personal stand point because I was able to meet and interact with different people from diverse nationalities and most importantly because I was able to help them with my knowledge and patience. If I could repeat this fulfilling experience I would definitely do it again.
