About
The Asian American Resource Center (AARC) invites you to volunteer with our Senior Program in 2024 as part of Language Corner (formerly known as English Corner).
Language Corner is a drop-in session that is offered weekly as part of the AARC’s regular schedule for Senior Program participants. Seniors come in and out throughout the hour, and they are encouraged to practice their language skills with volunteers.
Learn more about the AARC Senior Program.
No formal training is required; however, we do encourage comfortability with working with limited English proficiency (LEP) communities, seniors, or other vulnerable populations since this opportunity will have you directly interacting with people in one-on-one or small group settings.
Volunteers may participate in up to ONE Language Corner session before being required to complete a criminal background investigation (CBI), which is mandated by the City of Austin's Parks and Recreation Department due to proximity to vulnerable populations.
If you have participated before and would like to start the CBI process to volunteer again, then please complete this brief survey or email aarc@austintexas.gov.
