Mac Community Engagement Center

Language Opportunities

Do you speak or are learning a language other than English? The focus of this area is to utilize those language skills in local contexts such as bilingual schools and interpreting for legal clinics. While there are the most opportunities in Spanish, there are also opportunities to use German, Mandarin, and French. If you want to use language skills in a different language, let us know and we can explore opportunities together!
