Volunteer & Internship Opportunities

Every semester, students have opportunities to volunteer or become interns. This gives students a chance to practice their Spanish, explore the local Hispanic community, and make a difference in the greater Piedmont Triad area via community service partnerships. Opportunities exist in the areas of Education, Mentoring, Legal Services, Healthcare, and Social Services. 

For more information, click here to navigate to WFU’s GivePulse platform, then type the word Spanish into the Opportunities keyword search field.  To set up a meeting to discuss options for volunteering in Winston-Salem, please contact the Office of Civic and Community Engagement (). 

Within the Spanish department, Dr. Lauren Miller runs a Spanish literacy program called Puedo Leer. In this program volunteers teach Hispanic elementary school students how to read and write in Spanish at weekly after-school tutoring sessions. Contact Dr. Miller at  directly if interested in volunteering with that program.
