As a major U.S. port city, New Orleans has a long-time connection to Latin America and the Caribbean and this relationship is reflected in the many transnational communities that make up the city’s human landscape. The UNO CLACS is committed to building bridges between the University and the broader Latin American and Caribbean community in New Orleans. As part of its mission, the Center collaborates with community based organizations that serve the city’s Latin American and Latinx residents and develops service learning and volunteer opportunities for UNO students. Students interested in service learning should contact the Center for more information.
