Often our families speak English as a second language, and an adult to translate during important meetings or phone calls is critical. Translators are often needed for meetings with staff as well as during our education sessions. Agreeing to be a translator will put you on a list of available people. We will work with your schedule, and translations can often be done off site. Spanish speaking translators are our biggest need.
