Voices of Echo
“I believe that each member of our community has the moral responsibility to help those less
fortunate, in this particular case folks that do not speak the English language. There is no greater reward in life then to utilize your skills and talents on behalf of human kind.”

Volunteer
ECHO’s team of dedicated volunteers donate over 1,000 hours of their time annually. If you’re interested in working with us, you can:
Become an ECHO community spokesperson: Community spokespeople serve limited English speaking communities in a variety of ways.
- ECHO TV hosts lend their talent to our monthly programming, presenting health and safety information on-camera.
- ECHO Captioners provide open-captions for ECHO’s multi-language television programs in English, to aid ECHO TV viewers in learning English.
- ECHO Ambassadors attend community events to put ECHO’s critical resources in the hands of the limited English speakers who need them most.
- Behind-the-scenes: ECHO spokespeople also provide the voices for ECHO’s phoneline, bringing timely health and safety tips to hundreds of Minnesotans in 10 languages.
To volunteer as an ECHO spokesperson, submit your resume to wanduragala@echominnesota.org and let us know how you would like to serve!
