KCS Workforce Development (WFD), with support from the NYC Civic Engagement Commission (CEC), will host a Voter Language Assistance (VLA) Workshop on Sunday, October 18, at Man-Baeksung Global Methodist Church of New York in Staten Island.

📌 What Is the VLA Program?
The Voter Language Assistance (VLA) Program provides interpretation services to voters with limited English proficiency (LEP), helping them participate in the voting process.

✅ VLA interpreters can assist voters with:

• Explaining ballot contents and voting instructions in the voter’s preferred language
• Helping voters find the correct polling site
• Interpreting conversations between voters and poll workers
• Assisting voters with scanning their ballots

🔒 Your vote is confidential!
VLA interpreters will not disclose your voting choices to anyone.
