Bilingual Community Outreach & Special Events Volunteer

Position Summary:

We are seeking enthusiastic bilingual volunteers to support both our community outreach and special event initiatives. This unique role combines direct service to community members with behind-the-scenes support for fundraising and awareness events. Volunteers will play a vital part in bridging language and cultural gaps.

Responsibilities:

Community Outreach

• Provide interpretation and translation support at outreach events, workshops, and community meetings.
• Assist in creating bilingual flyers, outreach materials, and social media posts.
• Connect with community members to share resources and services.

Special Events & Fundraising

• Support planning and preparation for fundraising events (galas, charity runs, fairs, auctions).
• Assist with event-day operations (registration, guest support, set-up/clean-up, donation tables).
• Promote events through word-of-mouth, social media, and distributing flyers in the community.

Time Commitment

• Minimum of 3–6 hours per month (outreach, events, or both).
• Some evening or weekend availability is helpful for special events.
• Commitment period: 3–6 months preferred, but short-term or one-time volunteers welcome for events.

Flexibility

• Outreach opportunities are often scheduled during weekdays, with occasional evening/weekend activities.
• Special events may require longer shifts (4–6 hours) on the day of the event.
• Volunteers can choose opportunities that fit their schedule.

Training & Support

• Orientation provided to all new volunteers.
• Additional training on the needs for interpretation/translation, or event-specific roles.
• Ongoing staff support and check-ins to ensure volunteers feel confident.
