Needs From: MC Serves!

Circle of Rights Inc. is looking for language translators to translate our English presentation on Heart Disease and Stroke so that we may present to in alternate languages to other communities. 

Some of these languages include (in no particular order):

1. Gujarati 

2. Urdu

3. Spanish 

Our presentation is found on Canva. Students will earn 10 SSL hours for successful completion of this task.

Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety and privacy at any time the student is interacting with the nonprofit and its clients. The nonprofit organization will determine the number of SSL hours awarded based on the evidence submitted. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns. This service activity is designed to be completed within the safety of the student’s home.  

During FY23 (July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023), learn health material and present on one topic in English or in any other language.

Located in Montgomery County, Circle of Rights is a non-profit organization for stroke prevention and healthy living. Circle of Rights is here to educate on topics such as heart disease, stroke, cholesterol, blood pressure, and diabetes.

During the COVID pandemic, Circle of Rights had limited in-person presentation opportunities. In FY23, we will expand our outreach, giving health presentations in underserved communities. Since we did this for the 12 years leading up to COVID, we have presentation and handout material (in English, Spanish, Amharic, and Korean), as well as locations throughout the County where we have previously done these presentations. We need adults who are willing to learn the material and present on the topic. (Zip Code below was a requirement, but we present throughout the County.)

Located in Montgomery and Prince Georges County, Circle of Rights is a non-profit organization for stroke prevention and healthy living. Circle of Rights is here to educate on topics such as heart disease, stroke, cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, and goal-setting in 15 different languages. Organization structure includes Group Managers, Social Managers, and translators in each of the different languages.

Circle of Rights is interested in getting Stand-In Social Managers who cannot speak the alternate language, but can stand-in until a bilingual Social Manager is found. This person will advertise Facebook pages on alternate social media sites, like reddit.com. We are missing Social Managers in Vietnamese, Spanish, and Hindi. Other Social Managers do not have the social media skills to do what we're asking them to do. You will have at least one, and sometimes as many as six bilingual people in your group to call on to create text in the alternate language. This is a learning experience that you can't miss!

To better serve the diverse communities of Maryland we are recruiting volunteers to help us publicize our English Instagram and Facebook pages to gain exposure for the community. As of October 1, 2021, our FaceBook page has more than 800 followers. We are in the process of working on a survey (Survey Monkey?) that will give us email id and county, so we can measure our progress in the Montgomery County community. This survey will be translated into numerous languages, and put out on Circle of Rights language-specific FaceBook pages.

This opportunity is open to all adults and students. It's a 3-6 hour monthly commitment.
