Below is a partial list of entities that provide interpreting and translation services relevant for refugee and migrant contexts. The list is intended to help as a starting point for searching for refugee interpreting services. While we strive to keep the list up-to-date, AMERA is not able to verify availability or quality of services.
The list is arranged alphabetically by organization name and geographic region. Some organizations may also do remote interpreting, please inquire directly with them for latest details on their geographic scope of service provision.
