    Description

    The Pike Market Senior Center organizes regular field trips to help older adults explore the community, enjoy cultural experiences, and stay socially connected. These outings often include visits to museums, gardens, parks, or local attractions, and typically take place during weekday daytime hours(Monday - Friday).

    We are seeking bilingual volunteers who can provide support to our Chinese-speaking members during these trips. Volunteers play an important role in ensuring seniors feel included, comfortable, and able to fully participate in the activities.

    Responsibilities:

    • Provide translation and interpretation support for Chinese-speaking members
    • Offer guidance, directions, and reminders to help seniors navigate group activities
    • Engage in friendly conversation and create a welcoming atmosphere
    • Work alongside staff and other volunteers to ensure outings are safe, organized, and enjoyable

    Requirments:

    • Bilingual in Chinese and English (other language skills are also welcome)
    • Patient, approachable, and comfortable engaging with seniors of all backgrounds and ability levels
    • Able to stand, walk, and move around for extended periods of time
    • Willing to collaborate with staff and fellow volunteers in a team setting

    This role is a wonderful opportunity to combine language skills with community service while helping seniors enjoy enriching experiences outside the Senior Center
