For interpreters

This is where good interpreters belong, and grow.

Real standards. Fair pay. Someone who listens when the day is hard. SOS was named by interpreters, and we've never forgotten it.

Portrait of an interpreter, the kind of professional we build around.

What it's like to work with us

We treat the people behind the work like the work matters.

  • Fair pay, no games.

    Clear rates, paid on time, with no quiet shortcuts at your expense.

  • Standards worth meeting.

    We hold a real bar, and we back you to clear it, not just judge you against it.

  • Support when the day is hard.

    A coordinator who picks up. Someone who knows your name and your work.

  • Room to grow.

    Mentoring, workshops and a path toward certification, including the Makeba Orr Smith Scholarship.

Who fits here

Skill, integrity, and care for the people in the room.

We match technical skill with cultural fit on every assignment, so the interpreters who thrive here are the ones who take both seriously. Certified or working toward it, in-person or virtual, we want professionals who recognize that communication is more than words, it's identity, culture, and connection.

Lift as you climb

We don't just hire interpreters. We help build them.

Through mentoring, free workshops and the Makeba Orr Smith Scholarship, we widen the door behind us, one certified interpreter at a time. If you're working toward national certification, we want to support you.
