—John Martin, State Farm® Agency Recruit

"Before I found out about the services offered at the LAA, I was very unhappy with my job. I was working different hours every day, which made spending time with my family very difficult. Also, I didn’t feel challenged at work and had little opportunity to grow professionally. What I thought would just be a job became a career. The LAA’s services exceeded all of my expectations and thanks to them I have become a very successful person. I have found a career that I really love and that allows me to help people."

"My name is Giovanni Gonzalez, I am a graduate from Kennesaw State University.  I was referred by a friend to visit the Latin American Association for job openings in 2007.  As I was looking for a career path and draping hundreds of resumes for different companies without any luck; I was fortunate to drop my information in the Latin American Association career services.   Two days later I was contacted by Mr. Eliezer Velez about different career opportunities that were available through the LAA.  He, immediately, asked me to visit him to discuss further my resume and the opportunities that were available.   We filled out the paper work necessary to be considered and also invited me to come for an interview with Sherwin & Williams.   Eight weeks later I started my new job in a Manager Training program with a Fortune 500 hundred company, with a career path ignited by the support and motivation of the Latin American Association.   Thank you for believing in me and giving me a chance to make a difference."

"The Latin American Association offers the best Spanish classes thanks to their superb faculty, supportive staff, and excellent facility. I highly recommend the Association to any prospective student of Spanish."  

Larry R. Paul, Atlanta

"When I began Spanish lessons at the LAA, I thought it would be just that, simple attendance twice a week. But the LAA ended up changing my life. Through Intercambio and the Coffee Hour, I had the honor of getting to know some of the warmest and most generous people from Spanish-speaking countries all over the world. Through various activities such as Latin movie nights, holiday parties, and guest appearances from international performers, I was able to experience various cultures in a real and tangible way. Because of the nature of the classes, learning to understand and share information, I developed strong relationships with my fellow classmates, my instructors, and the staff of the LAA. All said, the LAA enlightened me completely, making my world more accessible, more friendly and much more meaningful. I recommend the LAA every chance I get."

Elizabeth Dulemba

"The Latin American Association has been a wonderful partner.  They really worked with us to tailor the lessons to meet our needs.  The class was good for not only beginners but those with past experience in Spanish.  I believe every student left the class with increased knowledge.  Now we have people asking, when is the next class!"

- Richard Thornton, The Atlanta BRAVES

"Learning Spanish is critical to being fully a part of the Atlanta community and there is no better place than LAA.  The teachers are great, you have the chance to interact regularly with students learning English and you are supporting on the key nonprofit organizations in Atlanta."
