Being a member of many active professional communities has really helped me grow as an interpreter!
Not only are they excellent resources for learning terminology, discussing best practices, and exploring ethical dilemmas, they’re also fantastic opportunity for networking and learning about different job opportunities.
If you’re specifically interested in connecting with other interpreters who interpret the same language(s) check out my networking guide!
The KGH Interpretation Community Network
I not only manage quite a few Facebook groups for interpreters (and translators) but I also founded two much-needed groups as well. I dedicate my time to these groups because of the invaluable role they play as accessible free resources that offer interpreters much-needed support.
- Interpreter & Translator Peer Support Group (Founder & Admin)
- Queer-Friendly Interpreters & Translators (Founder & Admin)
- Professional Medical Interpreters (Co-Founder & Admin)
- U.S. Medical Interpreters (Moderator)
