Importance: Adult students come to the Adult Education Center (AEC) because they want to further their education and/or receive job-readiness training and employment counseling; attaining these goals is often life-changing for participants. With the increased need to serve a broader spectrum of clients, document translation is an important service that makes our outreach, intake and educational materials accessible to a linguistically diverse participant population.

Description: The document translator will translate registration forms from English into Spanish.

Needed skills:

• Ability to uphold commitment
• Fluency in written English and Spanish

Population Served by the AEC: AEC students are a diverse group; some have been chronically homeless, while others are experiencing recent struggles with employment and housing, and still others are re-entering society from being incarcerated. Their ages range from 18 to seniors. Our clients experience barriers to their education and advancement that include unaddressed learning differences, some developmental and physical challenges, cyclical poverty, discrimination, lack of access to education and employment opportunities, and some mental health issues. We meet clients where they are, providing individualized educational services, and work with them to formulate a goal-oriented plan that contains realistic steps to help them reach their potential.
