The State Center Community College District in Fresno, California, is actively seeking temporary, flexible-hour, year-round American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters. These interpreters will provide essential services for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (D/HH) students, faculty, and staff across various college settings. The role involves interpreting and transliterating in classrooms, laboratories, orientations, meetings, counseling appointments, assessment testing, field trips, professional development sessions, human resource matters, and other college/District events. Interpreters must be proficient in both voice-to-sign and sign-to-voice modes, accurately conveying the thought, intent, and spirit of speakers.
