UCLA program teaches Spanish to children in South Los Angeles
Tagged: California, children, Los Angeles, UCLAPosted on: February 16th, 2007“Leslie is taking Spanish classes after school through ¡Listos, a program funded by the UCLA Center for Community Partnerships and organized by the UCLA Department of Spanish and Portuguese and the nonprofit organizations Abrazar and the Foundation for Second Chances mentoring program. Classes are held after school three times a week at 42nd Street Elementary School in the Leimert Park area of South Los Angeles.
The classes target African American youth who live in neighborhoods in which Spanish speakers are abundant. Organizers hope the classes will help improve communication and relationships between African American and Latino communities.”
