About This Opportunity
Document translation is one of the first steps in a new immigrant’s settlement and a refugee’s resettlement. By translating a document, you are making the start of the settlement or resettlement journey smoother. The volunteer schedule for this position is very flexible, and you can work from home. As a translator, you must be fluent in source and target languages, have excellent writing and editing skills, be proficient at Microsoft Word, and deliver translation upon the agreed deadline. We provide you with free training to help you start, and we support you when you are translating a document. Professional experience as a translator is an asset.
