Just come hang out.
Choose an event that sounds like you. Bring a friend, meet a few people, and decide from there—no pressure to commit.
Hazlo tuyo
Show up a little.
Or change a lot.
Membership is open to all currently enrolled UIC students, regardless of major or Spanish level. Whether you are a beginner or a native speaker, there is a place for you here.
Your pace
There is no “right” amount of involved.
Start with one hour. Stay for a semester. Take a break when life gets busy. The club should fit your campus life—not compete with it.

Membership
Low dues.
No cost barrier.
Dues help us fund events, supplies, and community programming. We keep them as low as possible and offer waivers so cost is never a barrier.
Confidential waivers are available.
Can't afford dues? No problem — request a confidential waiver from our Finance Chair. We believe cost should never prevent anyone from being part of our community. All waiver requests are handled with complete discretion.
