Gặp Gỡ Những Người Dẫn Chương Trình Của Chúng Tôi

Hàng năm những người dẫn chương trình của ECHO tình nguyện đóng góp hơn 1,000 giờ công cho các cộng đồng của họ. Ngoài việc đóng góp năng lực cho ECHO TV (Truyền Hình ECHO) dưới hình thức người dẫn chương trình, họ còn tham gia làm việc trên đường dây ECHO Phone (Điện Thoại ECHO) và tình nguyện làm ECHO Ambassadors (Đại Sứ ECHO) tại các sự kiện trong cộng đồng – cung cấp các nguồn thông tin ECHO tới cho cộng đồng không thông thạo Anh ngữ cần những thông tin này nhất.

Trong thời gian xảy ra khủng hoảng liên quan tới sức khỏe hoặc an toàn công cộng, những người dẫn chương trình của ECHO chuyển ngữ các thông tin giúp bảo vệ tính mạng sang nhiều ngôn ngữ và thâu âm các thông báo công chánh (PSA) cho các phương tiện phát thanh, truyền hình, điện thoại và ấn phẩm.

ECHO sẽ không thể hoàn thành công việc nếu không có sự tận tâm và giúp đỡ của những cá nhân hảo tâm này.
