Bilingual Reporter Program: Interview with Sebastián Blanco / Reportero Bilingüe: Entrevista con Sebastián Blanco

Presented by Providence Health & Services Oregon, Coca-Cola and Toyota.

The Bilingual Reporter program is designed to encourage Hispanic youth to be proud of their heritage and language. Students are nominated by their teachers and then apply to have the opportunity to interview a Timbers player, Thorns player, or a member of the coaching staff. Following the interview, the selected students are required to write a report about the experience in English and Spanish. With a professional interview, the students are able to further develop their bilingual speaking and writing skills while exhibiting a passion for the sport.
