TESTIMONIALS
❝Everything that you could do to make our lives easier, you did. The emails, phone calls, you would always hear back from someone if you needed help. You were never lost, there was always someone to go to for help and they would definitely help you with anything you needed.❞

❝Imagine not going to a doctor’s appointment because you can’t explain yourself or taking your child and not being able to help them. We need funders to understand that [interpreters are] so necessary. We need careers, but we also need licensed medical interpreters empowered by our own communicative autonomy.❞

❝Wherever I’m standing today, people give us credit for where we’re coming from. I can proudly say that people think we’re like the Harvard of interpreting programs. We come from an Ivy League institute when we say we’re from Found in Translation. We're celebrated this way in our community.❞

❝Found in Translation really empowers women. It gives them something marketable that fits their lifestyle in so many ways. [Interpreting is] such a flexible profession to go into. It made a lot of sense to somehow support that.❞
