Professional or Volunteer Interpreting Requests
Message us here to inquire about requests for professional, paid interpreting services, or volunteer requests using the form provided.
Professional Requests:
Before filling out the request form please know that sign language interpreting is not a 1:1 spoken word, signed word correlation. Typically, we are taking a spoken/linear language and interpreting it into a visual/tactile language. Once interpreters are assigned, their job begins and does not finish until the end of the event. Interpreters are required to prepare in order to become familiar with the topic you may be an expert in. This preparation can be extensive and can require many hours outside of the requested event time. All of this is factored into the rates* that will be determined when learning about the scope of your event.
Note: For events over 45 minutes, two interpreters will typically be needed, due to the nature of our work.
Rates can be negotiated via email.*
Volunteer requests:
Please note that we do inquire about your budget in order to compensate our BIPOC interpreters for their time. Because of the nature of volunteer requests, we offer our Pro Bono services at a pay-as-you-can rate.
**Examples of volunteer requests include:
Protests and rallies
Funerals and memorial services
Services for Deaf community members, small businesses** and some nonprofits**
**Subject to review. If your request does not meet these guidelines we can discuss via email how we can work towards accommodating your request.
