IHELP Language Policy
Immigrant Home English Learning Program encourages the professional interpretation and translation of communications for the public and/or intended specifically for the immigrant community. For communication related to our program, IHELP staff utilizes professional interpretation or translation, as needed. A student’s family member may interpret or translate for program purposes only, as long as the family member is at least 14 years old. In the event that the student speaks a language that is outside of staff capacity and there is no one available in the home who is 14 years of age or older, IHELP contracts with professional interpretation and translation services.
IHELP does not offer professional interpretation services, and redirects external requests for interpretation and translation to professional agencies. Our goal is to build best practices within our community for working with people who are not fluent in English. Please refer to the Immigrant Service Providers Network’s (ISPN) recommendations for a list of best practices, as well as for referrals to organizations that offer professional translation and interpretation services.
