Freedom for Immigrants Hotline: Advanced Spanish Service-Learning

Within the HUMRTS 108 program, students will have the unique opportunity to apply their advanced Spanish language skills and their understanding of the US immigration detention system, acquired in the class, by volunteering with an organization dedicated to immigrant rights. In this capacity, students will receive training to operate a hotline responsible for monitoring conditions in over 200 immigrant detention centers. They will engage directly with people in immigration detention to document instances of abuse, reveal dehumanizing conditions, and connect them with their loved ones. To enroll, please ensure that you qualify to enroll in a third-year Spanish class and contact Instructor Vivian Brates at vbrates [at] stanford.edu (vbrates[at]stanford[dot]edu) to request a class code. Please be aware that this course requires a minimum of 3 units and must be taken for a letter grade to be eligible for Ways credit.
