MIRID Mentoring Program's Mission
To facilitate Interpreter mentor/mentee relationships throughout the state and to provide non-certified Interpreters with the appropriate resources to become nationally certified.
Hop Aboard the MentorSHIP!
MIRID's Mentoring Workshop
April 17, May 1, and August 28
Becoming a Mentor is easy - you don't need to know all the answers! We are always looking for participants!
This is a great opportunity for interpreters to give back to the interpreting community in the role
of mentor, members of the Deaf community to work with interpreters, and for interpreters who
want to take charge of their own development with the guidance of a mentor.
Start off on Day One learning about mentee-centered mentoring and self video assessment
assignment. Day Two team up in mentee/mentor pairs to begin the mentoring process. Convene
on Day Three to bring to closure the mentoring experience.
This program requires a short video interpreting sample in a computer compatible mode as well
as a commitment to participate in the mentoring process for 8 hours during the 17 week span
between Day Two and Day Three. These hours can be done face to face or through technology
such as Instant Messaging, Video phone, Web cam, or telephone.
