Volunteers: Current Opportunities

PIRC invites community volunteers to assist us with language support, administrative assistance and other special projects.

Language Registry

PIRC maintains a list of volunteers with language skills who are able to provide interpretation and/or translation services on behalf of detainees with limited English proficiency. Volunteers control the types of services and amount of time they wish to dedicate to this project. When language skills are needed, PIRC contacts volunteers directly for assistance. Simply enlisting for the registry in no way obligates a volunteer! To enlist on the Language Registry, download and complete the Language Registry Form.
