BEACON Interpreter Mentoring Program
Our goal is toĀ Create and Disseminate an Anti-Racist Curriculum incorporating our values of BEACON using the BEACON Interpreter Mentoring Program (BIMP) for Deaf and/or Hearing Sign Language Interpreters of Color.
BEACON Interpreter Mentoring Program (BIMP)
Our mission is to empower and elevate Black, Indigenous, Persons Of Color (BIPOC) Deaf, DeafBlind, DeafDisabled, Heritage, and Hearing interpreters by providing essential resources, mentorship, and professional development opportunities. We aim to foster a supportive community that amplifies diverse voices, promotes cultural humility and responsiveness, while aligning ourselves with the goal of equitable access in interpreting services. Through collaboration and education, we strive to enhance representation and inclusivity within the interpreting profession, ensuring that Deaf BIPOC are fully recognized and valued for their contributions through culturally relevant interpreters Deaf and Hearing.
