Windsor Mountain International Summer Camp/University of Southern Maine are seeking advanced interpreting students for a 6-credit internship class. This class involves interpreting for 4 weeks at our summer camp in NH, in a variety of situations, with both Deaf children and adults. Interns can enjoy their summer outdoors while interpreting soccer, kayaking, theatrical productions, arts and crafts, meetings and more. You will work with an experienced mentor/instructor on a daily basis, develop ASL skills, immerse yourself in sign language and Deaf culture, and have an amazing experience, all while further developing your interpreting skills. This class is exceptional for those intending to enter the field of Educational Interpreting, or Teacher of the Deaf. Room and board are included. For more information please visit www.windsormountain.org or email ellelangevin@gmail.com

My name is Sara Hellman and I am searching for a deaf interpreter internship to allow me to hone my ASL skills and be more involved with the deaf community. I plan to be an interpreter after completion of college and feel this experience would help me become a better student, interpreter, and more well-rounded individual. I have studied ASL for four years, and have taken classes in middle school, high school, and at TMCC. I have taught friends how to sign and enjoy being among people in the deaf community. I would like to be an intern and learn the profession of interpretation from a professional in the field. If you have such an opportunity within your organization, please feel free contact me.

Where: Reno/Sparks office at 999 Pyramid Way, Sparks, NV 89431
When: December 8th from 1pm-6pm

There is a great need for quality education for our hearing impaired children. Lake Mead Christian Academy is addressing the need by starting a Deaf Christian Education Program for 2nd thru 4th grades. (1st and 5th will be considered if space is available) Subjects will be taught in English and Sign to have a better comprehension of subject matter. Due to the commitment of a small class size, space is extremely limited. The program will be designed as a multi-ability classroom giving all students the opportunity to excel and learn. The students will enjoy a smaller class size for a more focused learning experience. This program will start with the new academic year of 2007/2008. Applications for enrollment are available on the website www.lmca.org . You may contact the program director Charlotte Courson ccourson@lmca.org with any questions.

There will be a “Emergency Preparedness” Workshop on Saturday, June 2 from 10 am
