Here is more information about the specific need, which begins next Friday:
The translator need is 8-10 Fridays for half-days, and then a full day for the asylum interview in May. The translator should be comfortable working with a transgender client and should be able to make a firm commitment to being at meetings most Friday mornings ( 9:30 - 12 pm) between now and April. Professional experience is a plus, even if not court certified! Nobody with any connection to Saudi or other Gulf embassy. Meeting location is 610 S Ardmore Avenue, Los Angeles 90005.
