Volunteer Translators
Volunteer translators are needed at Metro Nashville’s three Community Assessment Centers, where they support the healthcare employees working to provide free COVID-19 testing to Middle Tennesseans. Volunteers are especially needed to translate Spanish, Arabic, and Farsi.
You will NOT be preforming COVID-19 tests. You will only be on site to help translate as needed. PPE masks and gloves will be provided on site, and face shields and aprons are available upon request.
Please wear comfortable shoes, clothes, sunscreen, and bring a snack and a hat, as you may be outdoors and on your feet for long periods of time. Lunch and water will be provided.
Please express interest below and a Meharry Medical College representative will be in touch about your schedule and next steps.
Additional information:
- No smoking on site
- Volunteers will be expected to present themselves in a professional manner
- Due to the sensitive nature of these opportunities, they are only appropriate for volunteers 21 years of age and older
- Anyone volunteering will need to present a photo ID and fill out a liability waiver upon check-in
Although volunteers will not be in a direct testing environment with patients, please note: this opportunity is not recommended for anyone who is at higher risk for severe disease from COVID-19 nor those who regularly care for those at higher risk; additionally, volunteers who have experienced or live with anyone who has shown signs of respiratory illness should not participate. If you have returned from travel to a country that is under a Level 3 Travel Health Notice within the last 14 days, please do not register to volunteer.
