Our Work

Join Casa Latina for our Spanish Language program, Somos Vecinos! Classes are dynamic, interactive, and intended to help students feel comfortable conversing with the Spanish-speaking community. Classes are taught by native Spanish speakers and explore the culture of Latin America as well as themes related to Latinx immigrants living in the US.
