LBAW Legal Clinic at El Centro de la Raza - Volunteer! signup sheet

Legal Clinics are provided in collaboration with the Latina/o Bar Association of Washington (LBAW) and King County Bar Association! They will take place at El Centro de la Raza's Historic Main Building (2524 16th Ave S., 3rd Floor, Seattle, WA 98144). We will need volunteers to help with set-up, intake, and interpreting for attorney visits.

Tasks include:
~SET-UP (1-4 PM): Assist with preparing the conference rooms and waiting area for the clinic, including setting chairs and tables and providing information for Clinic attendees who arrive early. Bilingual (Spanish/English) ability is useful but not required.
~INTAKE (4-6 PM): Intake volunteers will meet with clinic attendees individually and complete intake forms with them in the order that they signed up. Intake forms ask for basic personal information and ask guests to explain the legal question or situation for which they are seeking advice that day. Intake volunteers may also be asked to assist in the waiting area during this time, monitoring the sign-in sheet or making general announcements. Advanced proficiency in both Spanish and English is required, with at least informal experience communicating in both languages.
~INTERPRETING (6-8 PM): Once the attorneys arrive (either in person or virtually), volunteers will interpret between the attorney and the client during consultations. Advanced proficiency in both Spanish and English is required, with at least informal experience interpreting between the two languages.
