Help the Polish-speaking residents of our community access the programs and services they need. Assist with outreach to make these Polish-speaking individuals aware of the help that is available at SAC.
We are looking for a friendly, outgoing person who speaks both English and Polish fluently for a minimum of 1/2 day per week to interpret for these clients. Being able to transcribe program materials into Polish would be a plus. We have a friendly office and can work with your schedule.
