As a certified Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprise, SignNexus has had the privilege of partnering with a number of diversity and inclusion-focused organizations. We are proud that our roster of more than 200 interpreters can meet the various needs and preferences of Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing consumers. 

 

Black Lives Matter. Indigenous Lives Matter. Latinx Lives Matter. Asian American Pacific Islander Lives Matter. Our agency works with so many people who have intersecting, marginalized identities. We stand firmly as allies, and we want to be part of the change. 

 

The communities we serve are extremely diverse, but the unfortunate truth is that the interpreting field, on the whole, does not accurately reflect this diversity. SignNexus is committed to doing the work within our own industry by actively addressing the diversity gap among interpreters in NYC.

 

We are currently rolling out a mentorship program for Black and POC-identifying people who are novice interpreters, in order to offer professional guidance and experience. We look forward to this exciting opportunity to support the success of new Black and POC interpreters in the field, and to better meet the linguistic and personal-identity needs of those who are Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing.
