Volunteer Translator (Burlington)
ORGANIZATION: ReSOURCE: A Nonprofit Community Enterprise
Please visit the new page to apply.
ReSOURCE is looking for volunteers who can serve as translators for our Summer Construction Training classes.
ReSOURCE’s Summer Construction Training Program offers construction certifications and employment transition assistance to Vermonters looking to improve their situations and contribute to their communities. This summer, two of our students are resettled New Americans who have limited facility with the English language.
We are currently in need of volunteers who provide English translation for any of the following languages:
- French
- Portuguese
- Swahili
If you can provide English translation for any of these languages, consider contributing some of your time this summer to aid these New American students as they acquire skills that will allow them to provide for their families and help build Burlington’s future.
Classes are taught Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. If you can offer to help any time at all on any of these days, please get in touch with us. Your volunteer assistance will be tremendously appreciated.
If you are interested in this opportunity or have any questions about this volunteer position, please email jrobinson@resourcevt.org or call 802-846-4007, ext. 15.

Mission Statement
ReSOURCE’s mission is to meet community and individual needs through : (1) education and job skills training (2) environmental stewardship (3) economic opportunities
Description
In pursuit of our goals, ReSOURCE works to create:
Environmental Stewardship: Reuse rather than recycle. One result of this stewardship is the 1,115 tons of materials ReSOURCE diverted from the landfill last year.
Educational Training: Building employment skills. All of our Departments and stores are learning classrooms and much of this training would not be possible without our Environmental Stewardship that provides the training materials and learning opportunities.
Economic Opportunity: Providing essential goods and services. Through our effective programs and success at Environmental Stewardship and Educational Training, we are able to offer the Essential Goods Program and donate necessary items to families in need, as well as offer refurbished items at an affordable price to the general public. In addition, our retail operations help support our stewardship and training efforts, which lead to gainful employment for our graduates. Last year we were able to give away more than $100,000 worth of household goods, building materials, and large appliances to low income individuals and those in need, including $14,000 to victims of the flooding.
