Colgate student volunteers design and teach world language classes to Hamilton Central School second graders six times a semester. There are four language groups: Chinese, Arabic, German, and Spanish. Each language group consists of two student coordinators, a faculty adviser and Colgate student volunteers. Student coordinators work with volunteers and advisers to plan lessons and to coordinate volunteers in the HCS classrooms.
