- Working with Latin American and Latinx Communities

Catalog description

A learning and community engagement class for which students volunteer or work in an internship in a Latin American country or Latinx communities in the United States or internationally.  Students are introduced to the history and culture relevant to the places and peoples engaged and to the role that the international community (in particular the United States government, organizations, and volunteers) has played in past and present.  Enrollment in this course is a co-requisite for participating in an alternative spring break off-campus experience developed by LALS and the Office of Community Services. Since 2014, the program has supported an alternate spring break in Guatemala.
