Description
Speak another language? Put that skill to use! HIAS Pennsylvania is a local nonprofit that provides legal and supportive services low-income immigrants as they build their new lives in our community. We are looking for volunteers to provide document translation, virtual interpretation, and in-person interpretation on an as-needed basis. Highly needed languages include Arabic, Pashto, Dari, Urdu, Swahili, Russian, Ukrainian, French [in person, business hours only], Haitian Creole, Tigrinya, Spanish [in person, business hours only], Rohingya and Burmese. Once you complete our intake process, you can indicate your preferences/availability. We would then add you to a list, and then staff would reach out with requests that could occur all around the city. No specialized vocabulary is required, and there is no minimum time commitment - you can just respond when you are able! For more information, go to www.hiaspa.org/volunteer or contact Jeffrey at community@hiaspa.org.
