HomeGrown Bay Area is a community-based coalition focused on promoting a more just and sustainable food system in the City of San José, California. We are advancing issues like food security, access to healthy food, reducing food waste, and environmental education via a community garden/food forest. For a presentation to a neighborhood association, with approximately 15 people, where the primary language will be Spanish, but Acterra's presentation will be in English, Acterra will need someone to provide two-way interpretation (English, Spanish) in real time. The volunteer will need to be bilingual and familiar with interpretation. The meeting will take place in San Jose at 6 pm and the volunteer will need to provide their own transportation to the event.
