Job: Remote Translators Needed for Legal Interpretation, Russian (Georgia Asylum and Immigration Network)

The Georgia Asylum and Immigration Network (GAIN) is a nonprofit organization that protects and empowers immigrant survivors of crime and persecution. We are seeking individuals who can provide remote Russian-English interpretation for nonprofit lawyers working with detained Russian-speaking immigrants. These individuals are held in immigration detention with little to no access to legal representation. Providing interpretation ensures that GAIN attorneys can expand their legal services to a population that is disproportionately detained and often isolated while in detention.

Payment is $25/hour. All interpretation sessions will take place virtually via Skype. Scheduling for client meetings is flexible, with meetings occurring between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM EST and lasting no longer than an hour on any given day.

If interested, please email your contact information to Alizeh Sheikh at asheikh@georgiaasylum.org. We will maintain your contact information on a private internal list and contact you only as needed.
