Election+Day

Information submitted by UWSEPA What Matters Announcement

The City of Philadelphia is undertaking a major effort to recruit at least 300 Spanish-speaking interpreters for the November 4, 2008 presidential election. Given the intense popular interest in and importance of this year's election, the City has teamed up with Campus Philly in the hope that local college students, faculty, staff and other interested people who speak Spanish will want to join in the City's efforts and perform a vital public service by serving as interpreters for Philadelphia residents whose primary language is Spanish.
 * Spanish interpreters needed for election day**.

To volunteer, respond by Wednesday, October 15th by emailing Campus Philly or Jennifer Burns at City Hall. The time commitment is relatively minimal –participants will attend one two-hour training and certification session shortly before election day and will serve as an interpreter for one of two 6.5 hour shifts on election day.
