Language proficiency requirements

English and Karen proficiency is required. You will not be able to apply if you do not meet this requirement. Learn more about language proficiency requirements.

Additional details

I need a simple flyer for community event translated into Karen.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a completed flyer with relevant information, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have ., and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,098 , allowing us to put more resources towards events and creating inclusive spaces

We are trying to better engage with past communities and create connections between our homeowners and the wider community. Ensuring our homeowners who don't speak English as a first language are able to learn about community events is an important step in this process.

Our mission

Seeking to put God's love into action, Habitat for Humanity of Orange County brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope.

What we do

Habitat invites people from all walks of life to work together in partnership to build houses with families. Habitat for Humanity is not a charity or a give-away program. Habitat for Humanity offers homeownership to Orange County families who otherwise may not have the opportunity to own a home of their own. Volunteer labor is used to build homes to keep costs low for Habitat families. Families pay closing costs and invest 275 hours of labor into building their own homes and the homes of others. As Habitat homeowners pay their mortgages, the money is used to help build homes with other families. Habitat for Humanity of Orange County also contributes to building Habitat homes overseas by tithing a "home for a home." Since our start in 1984, HHOC has built more than 300 new homes locally and repaired more than 200 homes in our community.

Our organization is a part of GSK Impact Awards US.
