Farsi-speaking volunteers needed for interpretation and translation

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Satellite Affordable Housing Associates

Do you speak Farsi? Are you interested in interpretation? Do you want to make a difference in the lives of Farsi-speaking residents living in affordable housing in your community? We are in search of bilingual Farsi-English volunteers to interpret at events at affordable housing sites around the Bay Area, but particularly in Berkeley. These events include monthly town hall meetings which last about 1.5 hours, as well as occasional special events. Having an interpreter at events is a vital part of helping Farsi-speaking residents of affordable housing feel as if their voices are being heard, as well as helping them feel like a part of their greater community. Volunteers of all ages are welcome.

Volunteers are also needed to translate monthly activities calendars into Farsi from English. These monthly calendars are an important way to let residents know about various activities and events throughout the month. The volunteer should have Persian software on their computer to adequately translate the calendars from English.

ABOUT SAHA: Satellite Affordable Housing Associates is committed to providing quality, service-enriched, affordable housing in the bay area. By providing consistent, volunteer-led programing, we hope to build community at each of our properties, while offering accessible, socialization alternatives. Our hope is to provide the necessary tools for our senior residents to age in place, and to provide exciting new opportunities for our residents to build community with their fellow residents. Visit sahahomes.org for more information!

ABOUT THE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM: The volunteer program is managed by the volunteer coordinator who will follow up to your opportunity inquiries about an application and interview. Please note that we are only able to accommodate 9am-5pm Mon-Fri availability. In the interest of providing consistent activities for our residents, we ask that activities occur on a regular schedule; monthly, weekly or bi-weekly preferred. Residents greatly appreciate and look forward these activities as well as enjoying the company of volunteers who make them possible. Please sign up today!
