Opportunity Details | Language Interpretation Support at Asylum Seeker Clinic!
Opportunity Name:
Language Interpretation Support at Asylum Seeker Clinic! |
|
Description:
Educational Alliance is seeking volunteers who will support our Work Authorization Clinic for Asylum Seekers. This is a flexible role that can be defined by the individual strengths of each volunteer. The function is to support the efficiency of the clinic through language interpretation for application assistants when needed, greeting and welcoming clients and providing logistic support. Work Authorization is a crucial pathway to their independence and financial stability. This opportunity is part of a pilot program we are developing. Please consider assisting this community of new immigrants to our city and helping to ensure our clinic can run smoothly, while creating a welcoming environment for all that come through.
OVERVIEW To be eligible to legally work in the U.S., those seeking asylum must apply for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) which authorizes them to work. The seven-page government application for an EAD is straight-forward but must be completed in English. To support migrants in completing this form, Educational Alliance plans to launch a work authorization application assistance clinic for those with pending asylum. As part of this initiative, we are seeking volunteers to support volunteer application assistants at the clinic through Spanish-language interpretation and other day-of help to ensure smooth operations.
