Bilingual/Multilingual Students Needed for Volunteer Interpreters Program

by Dudley Public Service

Hello everyone, Just want to let you know about a service opportunity for bilingual/multilingual students. Thanks, Janine -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Xiaolu and Janine, My name is Johane and I am a part of the Language Access Team in the Office of Civil Rights at Boston Housing Authority(BHA). One of our initiatives is the Volunteer Interpreters Program(VIP), through which we encourage community members to volunteer their language skillls to interpret for low income and immigrant families going through the housing process. We are currently seeking bilingual and multilingual students who speak Chinese, Vietnamese, Khmer, Somali, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, Cape Verdean, Spanish, Albanian, Russian, Arabic, French (and other languages) to participate in our Volunteer Interpreters Program. It would be a great way for students to supplement their academic studies, and to impact social change by working directly with homeless, limited English proficient families in the Boston area. I've attached our packet info, flyer and application. Please feel free to forward, print, and share these documents with your students and staff. Also feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you and we look forward to the possibility of working with some members of Harvard Dudley House. --Johane ♫ johane.alexis-phanor(a)bostonhousing.org j <<BHAVIP_FLYER.pub>> <<02_BHAVIP_FLYER.pdf>> <<BHAVIP_FLYER.pdf>> This e-mail and any attachment or file transmitted with it may contain privileged and confidential information for the use of the intended addressee only.
