CISC 2019 Annual Senior Resource Fair Volunteer Opportunity

My name is Sunny Yang and I’m the Community Living Connections Program Assistant at Chinese Information and Service Center (CISC), a nonprofit community organization located in the International District.

I’m writing because we’re hosting the 2019 Annual Senior Resource Fair on Wednesday, September 4, from 10am to 2pm at the North Bellevue Community Center. We are looking for volunteer interpreters (Mandarin/Cantonese, Spanish or Russian) to assist with language interpretation and general volunteers to help with participant registration, guest guidance and other tasks as needed for various programs and workshops at the event. Every year, over 300 community members attend the CISC Annual Senior Resource Fair, where they connect with over 30 organizations that provide a wide variety of medical, legal, and social services. This is a tremendously rewarding experience for volunteers to help older adults connect to much-needed services and encourage them to stay active and engaged in the community.
