What is the Interpreter Training?
One of our natural resources is our linguistic diversity and many of us have always been interpreting for friends, family, neighbors and coworkers. The Interpreter Training 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
- Learning about language justice strategies
- Better understand how to build more multilingual spaces
- 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 full day trainings (10 AM - 7 PM) on Saturday, May 7th and Sunday, May 8th, 10 AM-7 PM. You MUST be available for both days to participate.
