�Bienvenidos a Muncie! : a resource packet for Spanish-speakers in Muncie : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

Despite the growing Hispanic presence in the city, Muncie does not have any center or organization (e.g., Hispanic Center) that assists the newcomers in any systematic way. After working in a number of service-learning projects and making friends with several Hispanic community members, it is obvious that many of their needs are not being met. Furthermore, the individual volunteers or agencies that work with the Spanish-speaking community member are often unaware of their multiple needs or resources that are available to them. This presentation will share the rationale and the collaborative process of making a resource packet that is beneficial not only for the newcomers but also for agencies and volunteers.
