Spanish in the Community is a course at the University that integrates the Spanish speaking skills of students and connects them with service projects in the Champaign-Urbana community.

The course combines a student’s passion for learning about the Spanish language and a passion for service by providing the opportunity to spend two hours a week in the classroom and two hours a week volunteering.

Developed by Professor Ann Abbott in 2005, Spanish in the Community is a class designed to help students understand more about immigration, the myths versus the facts and the immigrant community as a whole.
