My name is Meon Yu and I’m the Community Living Connections Program Supervisor at Chinese Information and Service Center (CISC), a nonprofit community organization located in the International District. I’m writing because we’re hosting a Community Job Fair on Wednesday, October 24 at our Seattle office (611 S Lane Street, Seattle), and we’re looking for 8-10 Chinese and/or Mandarin volunteer interpreters to help with language interpretation at the event. Every year, over 100 job seekers of immigrant backgrounds attend our quarterly job fairs to connect with employers, learn about market needs and potentially gain employment. Recruiters from various sectors who attended our job fairs had successfully fulfilled their hiring needs. We understand that job seekers of immigrant backgrounds need additional support in job search. This is tremendous experience for volunteers to support and empower our community members to reach their employment goals, achieve self-sufficiency, and engage and integrate with the society.

Attached please find the volunteer recruitment details and the event flyer for your review and distribution. Much appreciated if you could share this opportunity with your students.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. meony@cisc-seattle.org

My name is Leah Karlsen and I am a medical student at University of Washington School of Medicine. I am writing to you today on behalf of our Primary Care Leadership Collaborative in partnership with Federal Way High School’s AVID program. We are looking for providers (and providers in training!) such as ARNP, PA, RN, MA, MSW, RD, etc to join us for our upcoming event, Primary Care in Action.

This 3.5 hour event from 8:30am to 12pm on Wednesday, December 5th will provide FWHS students, who will be the first members of their families to attend college and/or are from under-represented backgrounds in universities, with a chance to engage in hands-on, vignette-based programming where they can “step into the role” of different professions found in a primary care clinic. We need dedicated volunteers, like yourself, in order to make this event possible.

During the event each provider’s role would be to facilitate a station on tasks pertinent to your profession in clinic. We would greatly appreciate your participation in making this an incredible learning opportunity for the students.

Thank you for your time. Additionally, if you have any contacts with professionals currently located in or around Federal Way that would potentially be interested in this event or future events, please let us know as well. We would love to get in contact with community members. If interested, please email me at lkarlsen@uw.edu for more information.
