Next Generation Language Access ( NGLA) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide high-quality interpreter training to bilingual high school students. NGLA aims to provide students with a viable career opportunity upon graduation from high school that will both emphasize their inherent bilingual skills and fill the need for professional interpreters in community settings.

The ideal candidate will have experience in doing community outreach, have strong literacy skills in English as well as Spanish or Portuguese, and have a desire to develop their language abilities in a second language or pursue a language-related career.
