Literacy Source is an adult education non-profit located in the Lake City neighborhood of North Seattle. We work with a diverse population of English language learners who together speak over 40 languages. Literacy Source offers classes in English, GED, Adult Foundational Skills, and citizenship as well as legal services for people applying for US citizenship.
Volunteer interpreters will work with our Citizenship Program Manager to help students prepare applications, obtain documents, and interpret at US Citizenship and Immigration Services appointments.
Applicants with professional skills in Amharic, Tigrinya, Oromo, Mandarin, or Somali are encouraged to apply. Experience working with adult immigrants and/or refugees is an additional plus.
Literacy Source is an equal opportunity employer working towards a culturally diverse workplace. We strongly encourage applications from the BIPOC community, immigrants, refugees, women, people with disabilities, members of the LBGTQ community and other underrepresented and historically marginalized groups.

Mission Statement
Literacy Source partners with adults working to gain skills and education to create new opportunities for themselves, their families, and the community. We envision an inclusive and equitable society providing education and opportunities for all adults. We believe that all adults can improve their basic skills and that community volunteers, trained and supported by professional staff, can work with students to make this happen. We welcome the challenge of developing the habit of independent lifelong learning. The Literacy Source story unfolds each day at our center - and in homes, community centers, and workplaces around Seattle and the Puget Sound region - as adult learners work towards literacy, English language skills, citizenship, better jobs, and better lives. Our students range in age from 19 to 86, and speak 41 languages. 97% of our students are low-income and 96% are immigrants or refugees.
Description
Literacy Source is a safe and community-centered environment, working to become a fully inclusive, multicultural, anti-racist organization. Commitment from our volunteers to this work is essential and we strongly encourage applications from people of color, immigrants, refugees, women, people with disabilities, members of the LBGTQ community and other underrepresented and historically marginalized groups.
