CLA is seeking three new CLA Ambassadors join our organization come

spring semester. Some of the main duties and responsibilities for the CLA

Ambassadors are outreach and recruitment of prospective students. I am reaching

out to your organization because it is important that students and families

considering the University of Minnesota know that diversity and inclusion is

important to us. The on line application is now ready to go. Please forward

this link on to those students who you think could benefit from an outstanding

leadership opportunity in the college and encourage them to apply. The deadline

for applications is Friday, November 13. The candidates /must/ be CLA students

and preferably freshmen or sophomore. If you have any questions feel free to

contact me.

Volunteer at Joyce Bilingual Preschool! Our preschool program is dual-immersion, with an extra emphasis on Spanish language maintenance and learning in the 3-4 year-old class (about 70% Spanish and 30% English. Our 4-5 year old class strives for a 50/50 balance of Spanish and English).
Our preschool relies on volunteers for extra language support.

We are looking for 4-6 dedicated individuals who can commit to one morning or afternoon per week, with Spanish speakers needed particularly on Thursdays and Fridays. Our volunteers play an important role in the classroom, providing individualized tutoring and mentoring to students,
running learning stations, and supervising during snack time and gym time.

About 1/3 of our students are native Spanish speakers, 1/3 native bilingual,and the remaining 1/3 are native English speakers. All
children receive instruction in English and Spanish. Additionally, four out of our 6 teachers
are native Spanish speakers.

Please help Joyce Preschool fulfill its goal of providing quality bilingual education to all families by supporting us with your
presence in the classroom. Contact Natalie for more information:
