International & Multicultural
We are PALMA! As a student-run organization here at the University of Michigan, our primary focus is providing mentoring to all ages of our Hispanic Latinx Community here in Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti. We have three different programs within our organization: Pre-K, K-12, and Adult. What we do:Our Pre-Kindergarten program focuses on younger children and helping them prep for school. Our Pre-K program uses lots of resources from the AADL such as games, children's books, and online learning games. Second is our K-12 program. In this program we focus on helping the kids with the schoolwork that they bring with them to our tutoring sessions. The amount of work they have varies by student, therefore tutors are also ready to work with their students on the subjects they may have a more difficult time with... extra practice is always good! Finally, we also have an adult ESL program. This program focuses on helping parents and other community members with their English. For this program, we like to have tutors who are proficient in Spanish. With all three of our programs, we pair one or two students with a tutor. We welcome anyone who wishes to be a tutor or a student with us. We especially love getting new tutors as we have a long list of students awaiting a placement. The bigger our organization, the more good we do.If you are interested in joining PALMA, contact Victoria Mago (vicmago@umich.edu.edu) or Ellen McDonough (ellenmcd@umich.edu)!
