Community contacts/Resources

1) Distribute packets to all of your usual publicity sites, including churches, ESL classes, and bilingual storytimes.

2) Be mindful of distributing material to worksites where you usually distribute flyers and information as you do not want to injure the partnerships you have formed with these workplaces.

3) Contact local unemployment offices, temp offices, etc. to see if they will stock the folders for you and distribute them to clients who speak Spanish. These places may also have other tips for good online, local job searching sites.
