Community
Outreach through the Spanish Program at USC
The Community Outreach
program desires to make both students and faculty aware of volunteer
opportunities in which they can utilize their Spanish skills to serve
the Hispanic community of Columbia, SC. Examples of some services
are ESL, translation and interpretation, and other areas that need
bi-lingual assistance, such as medical, government and education.
