INTERCAMBIO PROGRAM
|
Do you want to practice your Spanish? Are you interested in improving the lives of Spanish speaking people in your community? Do you want experience teaching English as a Second Language in a casual environment? If you answered yes to any of these questions and have at least two free hours a week, Edúcate Ya has the perfect opportunity for you! One of our most popular community programs is Intercambio de Lenguas, a program that matches Spanish speakers who need assistance with their English with other locals who would like to improve their Spanish. Volunteers are trained to be ESL tutors and are matched with Spanish-speaking community members who want to improve their English. 90 minutes of the class is dedicated to practicing English, the last 30 minutes are for Spanish. Intercambio is a great way to make new cross-cultural friendships and networks. |

LATINX HERITAGE AWARENESS PROGRAM
These cultural awareness programs provide a safe place where you can learn about the diversity, cultural differences and similarities within the Latinx communities. A place where you can share your personal experiences and learn from one another; a place where you can embrace the beauty of people and their cultures. Educate Ya provides an opportunity for braking barriers and understanding the means of how to integrate into the mainstream culture in the USA, and also provides a safe place where non-Hispanic communities can learn and ask questions about the diversity that exists in Latino cultures. The Cultural Awareness Program offers three types of workshops based upon cultural diversity:
Cultural heritage awareness for latinx born in the USA.
Cultural Heritage Awareness for Latinx immigrants.
Cultural Awareness for the Oregon community on Latinx and their contributions
