What is the Interpreter Training? One of our natural resources is that many of us are multilingual and have been interpreting for friends, family, neighbors and coworkers. The Interpreter Training Project seeks to provide opportunities for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two Spirit, Trans and Gender Non-Conforming immigrants of color who are already informal community interpreters to:
- gain greater skills in interpretation
- learn resources and strategies to use interpretation to generate income
- better understand how to make our community spaces more accessible
- share knowledge about health, social and community resources
- share resources on translating health, sexuality and gender issues.
What are the details?
The program includes two all day trainings on Saturday, September 17th and Sunday, September 18th which will focus on sharpening interpretation skills. You must be available for both days to participate. There are a limited number of $100 stipends available for this training. After completion of the training, participants will be expected to volunteer some time providing interpretation for ALP events.
