English to Spanish Document Translator
Supervisor: Volunteer Coordinator - Stevey Panton
Objective: Center for Independent Living is an organization dedicated to inclusion of all people with all disabilities. Right now, we have at least 3 documents that urgently need to be translated from English to Spanish, so that we can reach the Spanish speaking population in our community. We have employees who speak Spanish and are able to communicate with the Spanish speakers that receive our services, but a lot of our forms only exist in English right now. That can sometimes create a barrier. Part of our mission involves breaking down barriers and providing opportunities for inclusion, so we really want to be accessible to everyone in the community. CIL needs a volunteer who can efficiently and effectively translate documents for us.
Responsibilities: To begin, we have 3 documents that need to be translated from English to Spanish. If you are interested in getting more involved, we have more text that could be translated after these 3 urgent documents are translated.
Qualifications: Individual should; be fluent in Spanish and English, have a concrete understanding of Spanish grammar, and be able to use Microsoft Word to create the new documents.
Commitment: The only commitment we need right now is to translate 3 documents. This can be done in our office during office hours if you need to use our computers, or from home if you have your own computer and/or time constraints, whatever makes the most sense to you.
Training: Training will be provided on an as needed basis. We can help with understanding our organizational jargon or if you have questions about Microsoft Word.
Please feel free to contact Stevey Panton if you have ANY additional questions. Also, please feel free to forward this information if you know someone who may be a good fit for the job.
