Volunteers for Interpreting Services

Dear All,

Dublin AIDS Alliance has been in contact with four people from the deaf community who are very interested in becoming peer sexual health trainers. They have all expressed an interest in completing our FETAC Level 5 Training for Trainers Programme on Sexual Health and Drug Awareness, with a view to developing and delivering this type of training and workshops within the deaf community.

The training programme runs for one day a week over eight weeks (next course commencing on 8th October), and due to funding restrictions we are unable to fund interpreters for this period as costs are quite high.

As such we are seeking ISL/English interpreters who may wish to volunteer their services for the duration of the programme.

We would very much appreciate if you could forward this email to all interpreters, who can then contact me if interested in volunteering.


Kind regards,

Susan Donlon
