Interpreters & Translators

HRI is actively recruiting volunteer interpeters and translators to provide written and/or verbal translation in English for HRI clients. HRI utilizes volunteer translators for many languages, including Amharic, Arabic, French, and Spanish.

Since HRI provides legal representation and social services to victims of human rights abuses, volunteers will be exposed to very sensitive and emotionally difficult information. Before volunteering each volunteer interpreter and/or translator must complete HRI's Online Application Form, sign a confidentiality agreement and complete a criminal background check request.  After these requirements have been met, HRI will schedule a meeting to discuss individual interest in more detail. 

If you would like more information please call the main line at 214-855-0520 and ask for Maria Cunningham.  Thank you for your interest.
