Western Youth Services’ Fountain Valley Medi-Cal Outpatient clinic provides individual, family, and group therapy for children, youth, and families. Our clinic is seeking bilingual (Vietnamese-English) volunteers who can work with the Administrative staff at the front desk. A lot of times, families will call and will want to notify clinicians that they are running late, that they want to re-schedule an appointment, or have a quick question that they need answered. However, most of our bilingual clinicians are in therapy sessions and thus it takes a lot of time out of their schedules to pull them out of their sessions with clients to answer phones. Thus, we would greatly appreciate volunteer support at the front desk who can speak to our Vietnamese-speaking clients and families so that they can get the immediate help that they need without having to pull a clinician out of session. In addition to interpretation work, volunteers will ask with other administrative tasks such as filing, scanning, organizing, and assisting with discharge files. Volunteers will gain insight into how a Medi-Cal clinic functions behind the scenes.
Please Note:
Volunteer(s) must complete a live scan fingerprinting process, a language assessment with one of the bilingual clinicians on site, as well as orientation prior to volunteering.
