The Foster Grandparent and Senior Companion Programs at Felton Institute are seeking dedicated, compassionate Spanish-English translators to assist low-income seniors in San Francisco. These programs, supported by AmeriCorps, provide seniors with resources and community engagement opportunities. Many of the seniors we work with are Spanish speakers who rely on translation to get interviewed to be accepted into our programs.
About the Role: As a volunteer translator, you will:
- Help facilitate communication between program staff and Spanish-speaking seniors
- Assist with intake forms, program information, and interviews
- Play a vital role in bridging language barriers to empower seniors to connect, engage, and thrive
Ideal Candidate:
- Fluent in Spanish and English
- Passionate about helping seniors and the community
- Reliable, patient, and empathetic
- Interested in social work, community support, or gaining experience in the nonprofit sector
Why Volunteer? This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in social services, contribute to meaningful work, and support a vulnerable community. Volunteers and interns are appreciated as essential team members, and the impact you’ll have on seniors’ lives is invaluable. Flexible scheduling and remote options are available.
Interested? Please reach out to learn more about how you can help!
