| Description of the Program | Sorenson recognizes that traditional educational paths to becoming an interpreter may not be a fit for those who grew up with Deaf parents. As a result, Compass provides a tailored interpreter education program for nearly fluent Deaf-parented heritage users of signed languages. Compass instructors and mentors work to grow participants’ existing language skills and help them explore their identities and culture. This structured 10-month opportunity is fully online, is offered at no cost to participants, and is designed to put them on track toward becoming a professional interpreter. |
