Consecutive interpretation comes in handy in different scenarios. When holding public hearings, and when equipment is limited, and you must accommodate. Why consecutive interpretation? Well, it:

1. Allows everyone to hear each other.

2. Provides transparency and accountability by ensuring that other bilingual participants can vet the validity of the interpretation.

3. Great for conversations amongst small groups of two to four. 

Translation is the art of translating words or text from one language to another. Not all translations are the same. Some entities require certified translations, and others require localization. Especially when working with scientific or technical terminology. What to think of when hiring an agency: 

1. Ask if the translation will be machine or human translation. 

2. Ask if you will be receiving a final edit that is print ready. 

3. Ensure that the translation is localized and thoughtful of the majority of the population that will read through the materials.

Community outreach is an important component of any planning effort. Allow us to focus on language accessible outreach while you focus on drafting, documenting and incorporating input. We can help with: 

1. Canvasing (door-to-door outreach).

2. Conducting focus groups/house meetings through grassroots efforts.

3. Targeted outreach campaigns at fairs, community events, farmers markets (swap meets), and partner pop-up events. 

4. Conducting surveying and capturing input.

5. Phone calls and one-on-one conversations.
