Multicultural Outreach

The city provides a range of services for Bellevue’s growing multicultural population. Connections are constantly being built to bridge gaps between diverse cultural and language groups, other community groups and the city.

Mini City Hall – a community service center in the heart of Bellevue’s most diverse neighborhood – is the hub of Outreach multicultural communications and programs. Staffed six days a week, Mini City Hall offers city and community services in a welcoming atmosphere where staff and volunteers speak a total of nine languages. Other neighborhood outreach targeting multicultural communities include:

Cultural Navigators -- available for one-on-one live assistance at Mini City Hall during set hours.
Foreign Language web pages -- providing essential information in Spanish, Russian, Korean, Vietnamese and Chinese.
Interpreters – always available on request for city meetings.
Language line phones – available during office hours at Mini City Hall and at the Neighborhood Resource Center.
Cultural Conversations – a bi-monthly networking and discussion group for women from diverse backgrounds who want to be more connected in their community.

Cultural Conversations and Tea

Groups of diverse women in both the Crossroads and South Bellevue areas meet regularly to share experiences and build bridges between cultures. These conversation groups provide a place where women of different cultures and faiths can meet, share and connect. Meetings may include group conversations, storytelling, service projects, speakers, trainings and social gatherings. All are welcome.
