Found in Translation

Founded in 2011, Found in Translation creates opportunity at the intersection of two social problems by providing free Medical Interpreter training and job placement to low-income bilingual women, and interpreting services to Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals. Our mission is twofold:

To give low-income bilingual women an opportunity to achieve economic security through the use of their language skills
To unleash bilingual talent into the workforce to fight disparities in healthcare

Medical interpreters earn a median wage of $45,530/year nationally; will see 42% job opportunity growth by 2020; save patients' lives; and prevent medical errors and inefficiencies, reducing health care costs for us all.
