Interpreters Needed (Spanish, Arabic, Swahili, Dari)

World Relief's mission is to boldly engage the world's greatest crises in partnership with the local church and community. Here in Memphis, World Relief serves refugee families who are rebuilding their lives in the 901.

World Relief Memphis is seeking volunteers to interpret English and Spanish, Arabic, Dari, or Swahili. Interpretation is used during meetings between staff and clients; in large group settings (Ex: client workshops and cultural orientations); and other scenarios like helping clients open bank accounts, work on resumes, fill out job applications, and learn digital literacy.

The time commitment varies depending on the scenario. Once onboarded, you would be added to a list of people who have offered interpretation. Staff will contact you when there is a need for an interpreter.
