About this Opportunity

As part of its workforce education programming, Neighbors Link often brings in speakers from different community partners to share information with clients, who are primarily Spanish-speaking. The organization is looking for volunteers to help translate a 2-to-3-hour presentation from English to Spanish for clients as well as help provide communication between the presenter and families. Topics include CPR trainings, banking, resources in schools, and more.

Volunteers must attend video call orientation to participate. Express interest below!

Neighbors Link aims to strengthen the whole community through the healthy integration of immigrants. This mission is achieved by filling a service gap for new immigrant families, offering education and empowerment programs, involving longer-term residents in volunteer opportunities, and creating substantive partnerships with other local organizations. Its strategies to educate, empower, and employ families include a Worker Center, English as a Second Language (ESL) education, legal services and advocacy, workforce development, parent education, early childhood programs, and academic support for school-age children of immigrants.
