CancerLINC Welcomes Two Translation

Interns to Help Expand Outreach

CancerLINC is welcoming two translation interns from the VCU Spanish English Translation and Interpretation (SETI) program. Their work will include interpreting phone, in-person, and written communications, assisting at health fairs and awareness events, and helping to create bilingual communications. We will be highlighting our interns in the next few weeks and the work they have accomplished.

You can help us celebrate our 25th anniversary by making a special donation to help us reach our goal of raising $50,000. Simply include "25th Anniversary" with your online gift or check and your name will be listed on our special event webpage. On this page, you can also view videos from clients, staff members, and volunteers about their experience with CancerLINC.
