Are you a bilingual or multilingual Cornell student? Do you want to use your language skills to serve community agencies in emergency and non-emergency situations? If so, then attend a Volunteer Training Session to start your process on becoming a volunteer translator and/or interpreter for TIP! During the Volunteer Training Session, we will provide you with training on how our program works and how to become a volunteer. After you complete our Volunteer Training Session and sign our Volunteer Contract, you will then be allowed to take a certification exam with a TIP-associated language professor at Cornell to certify your proficiency. Once we receive your exam results and required paperwork, we will enter your contact information and availability onto our password-protected online volunteer database so that community agencies can contact you when they are in need of translation/interpretation services.
