From now until December, these awesome interns will translate census materials and interpret in-person for census outreach activities under our mentorship, in an effort to increase census participation among English learners. The languages in which these activities will take place this semester are: Arabic, Swahili, Nepali, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Uzbek and Russian.
