Spanish Community Forum

On October 25th we held a community forum for the Spanish speaking community of Ellenville and Wawarsing. Working with Hudson Valley Interpreters, a part of the Language Justice Collective of the Hudson Valey, who provided two interpreters and headsets, we were able to present in Spanish and have simultaneous bilingual translation for an effective and comprehensive focus group discussion on the needs of the community. This vital conversation with an underserved population of Ulster County will greatly enhance the re-envisioning of the Trudy Resnick Farber building in Ellenville, as well as help us to improve how all county agencies serve the Spanish speaking community overall.
