The Organization of Latin American Students at Wake Forest University

OLAS is involved with bringing Latino high school students in the Hispanic Achievers Program to campus in an outreach effort that attempts to inspire these students to seek higher education.

OLAS also volunteers at the DEAC Clinic as bilingual translators. Our members who are fluent in Spanish go into Winston-Salem and serve as interpreters for the medical professionals providing care to Spanish-speaking patients.

Recently, we have begun to volunteer at a church, El Buen Pastor, where we help hispanic children with their homework as well as act as mentors for them.
