ASL Interpreter Needed for Legal Consults

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Justice & Diversity Center of the Bar Association of San Francisco

JDC Logo

The Justice & Diversity Center (JDC) offers multiple free legal programs for qualifying San Franciscans. We are looking to add ASL (American Sign Language) interpreteters to our volunteer roster as we have deaf clients who would benefit from interpretation in person. Utilizing your language skills provides critical help to clients so they can receive life-changing legal assistance.

If you are interested in volunteering for a legal clinic, JDC will work with you and your availability to interpret during client meetings with staff attorneys.

Interpreters are essential for clients with limited or no English proficiency and their ability to access legal services. Please consider volunteering today! You don’t need to have legal experience to volunteer!
