What types of projects or tasks can I expect to work on during an ASL Sign Language internship?

During an ASL Sign Language internship, you can expect to assist with interpreting in real-life settings, such as classrooms, meetings, or community events, under the supervision of certified interpreters.

These experiences help you build practical skills, understand professional protocols, and gain confidence in a supportive environment. Collaboration with Deaf mentors and other interns is common, fostering both learning and professional networking.
