FAQ

What is an appropriate request? 

Your request will be screened to ensure that it is an opportunity NOT covered by requirements such as ADA, IDEA, and any other local, state, or federal requirements. Additionally, if consumers are paying for services (e.g., admissions, registration, etc.), this will require qualified interpreters. 

Examples of types of assignments that may be a good fit for interpreting students: 

• Birthday parties 

• Sporting events (ie: soccer practice, basketball lessons, etc.) 

• Family reunions 

• Community social events 

• A low-stakes assignment that already has a certified interpreter booked (provided this certified interpreter is willing to work with an uncredentialed student).

The more information provided when submitting the request, the easier it will be for us to determine if the assignment is appropriate for interpeting students. 

Please note: anything pertaining to college classes, medical appointments, mental health, police interactions, legal work, or platform assignments are not appropriate for student interpreters.
