Senior of the Year – Volunteer Awards 2024

Seniors are gems! Marcela has volunteered as a language interpreter and translator with COMPASS Refugee Centre for over 2 years. By helping clients overcome language barriers as they work with caseworkers, Marcela helps to ensure both parties can be confident that their written and verbal communication is clear, thus enabling clients to make informed decisions for themselves and proceed to hearings with courage. Marcela embraces her role with compassion, understating and integrity. She is flexible with her time, often making herself available on short notice to help clients facing tight deadlines. The whole COMPASS community appreciates you Marcela!
