    Description

    Mandarin and Cantonese Translators Needed: Assist guests receiving services at Rose Haven

    Rose Haven serves many guests who speak Mandarin and Cantonese and we are looking for volunteer translators to help us better serve these guests where there is a language barrier. This is a new volunteer role, so we have some flexibility around the hours and days. Ideally we could have some scheduled days to add to our guest calendar and let folks know when translators will be onsite to assist.

    Rose Haven is a day shelter and community center in NW Portland, serving women, children, and marginalized genders experiencing homelessness and poverty. We offer meals, showers, emergency supplies, advocacy visits, activities laundry, and a free clothing shop.

    Our service hours are 9 am - 12 pm, Monday through Friday, at 1740 NW Glisan St. in Portland, and we provide parking passes to volunteers. You will need to complete a volunteer orientation and background check.

    1 shift available:

    • We can use translation volunteers any time we are open for services- we can work with your schedule!: 08:45 to 12:15 PST

    Location

    On-site
