Interpreters

Few means are available to non-French speakers living in Geneva. Therefore, ICVolunteers, through its MigraLingua Program, offers linguistic services to migrants. 

Voluntary community interpreters break language barriers encountered in migrants’ daily tasks by linguistically accompanying them. Their role is to assist them with health, educational, judicial and administrative sectors. They facilitate intercultural exchanges and guarantee an effective communication involving three participants.

ICVolunteers also provides introductions to community interpreting, covering fundamentals.
