    Description

    Do you speak both English and Spanish? Are you looking for a meaningful way to support your community?

    Our AmeriCorps Seniors program is seeking a Spanish Translator Volunteer to help bridge communication between our bilingual volunteers, staff, and community partners. Your support will help ensure that Spanish-speaking participants can fully participate in orientations, trainings, and community events.

    Volunteer Responsibilities:

    ✅ Translate written materials, including forms, flyers, orientation packets, trainings and announcements

    ✅ Provide interpretation during volunteer orientations, trainings, and occasional meetings

    ✅ Work with staff to ensure translations are accurate, clear, and culturally appropriate

    ✅ Maintain confidentiality and professionalism when assisting participants

    Qualifications:

    • Fluent in both Spanish and English (speaking, reading, and writing)

    • Detail-oriented, reliable, and culturally sensitive

    • Translation or interpretation experience is a plus, but not required

    • Passion for serving the community and supporting older adults

    Flexible Commitment

    This is a flexible volunteer opportunity requiring assistance only a few times each month. We'll work with your schedule, making it a great opportunity for students, retirees, professionals, or anyone who wants to give back without a large time commitment.

    Your language skills can make a real difference by helping older adults and volunteers access important information and feel welcomed in our programs.

    If you're interested in volunteering or would like to learn more, please send us a message or contact us today. We'd love to have you join our team!
