Knowledge of Spanish, while helpful, is not necessary for the volunteers. Amigos seeks to enrich the lives of over 300 elementary school children each year. UCLA volunteers visit one of two elementary schools each week, Pio Pico in Central Los Angeles or Selma Avenue in Hollywood. For the first hour, UCLA students conduct in-class, small group tutoring in kindergarten through sixth grade classrooms. The other hour and a half is spent after school with a designated class each quarter. Approximately half the time is devoted to assisting the children with homework, while the remainder of the period is for an arts-and-crafts program with a multicultural emphasis. The children who participate after school have an opportunity to go on a field trip to UCLA and thus learn first-hand about the possibility of higher education.
