Become a Cultural Ambassador in Spain!

Many of our students participate in the North American Language and Cultural Assistants in Spain (NALCAP), a program developed by the Spanish government to bring enrichment to underserved schools in Spain. Through this program, WWU students can spend nine months in Spain as teaching assistants in primary or secondary schools. You can access the NALCAP program directly or as a WWU Fulbright award.
