What does community mean to you?

For some, it’s connection. For others, it’s collaboration, support, or creating something together.

At CLACLS, we believe undergraduate students are making an impact both inside and beyond the classroom.

The CLACLS Undergraduate Community Project Award recognizes student projects that engage with Latin American, Caribbean, and/or Latino communities.

✨ Have a project you’d like to share? Applications are now open.
