Equal Opportunity for Non-English Speakers

In the state of Hawai’i where 25.9% of the population speaks a language other than English at home, our program found immense success at supporting equity in social development through language access.

For this reason we are entrusted by nearly 5,000 clients per year to provide interpreters and translators so that people have the ability to communicate with and attain information from a variety of sources including healthcare providers, education professionals, social service providers, legal service providers, and more. By becoming a linguist, you are helping people gain equal access to the same opportunities as everyone else and break through the barrier of language that prevents many from receiving services critical to their wellbeing and understanding their rights.
