SECURING AN INTERPRETER TEAM
When scheduling interpreters for your upcoming conference through YourVolution you can rest easy knowing your event will be covered by highly skilled professionals who care about and are cognizant of the individuals impacted by the work provided.
As you begin to work with us to procure interpreters we will have you complete and submit an interpreting services evaluation form. Once your request is submitted we will begin to formulate your team of expert interpreters.
Considerations
Booking Timeline: In order to ensure you have the most qualified interpreters for your event we need to have plenty of advance notice. Given demand, highly qualified interpreters’ schedules fill up fast and we want to ensure availability is there for you. While we recommend securing interpreters as early as possible, we request at least 45 days notice when placing a request for coverage. We are typically not able to accept requests less than 14 days in advance of your event, as we want to ensure you are served with interpreters of the highest caliber.
Team Size: Typically a team of two interpreters is required to provide coverage for each Deaf participant. The task of interpretation is mentally and physically fatiguing, requiring this team to provide the appropriate support for each other and the messages being conveyed. If your event has multiple Deaf consumers and will not include breakout sessions - ie all participants will be in the same room at all times - fewer interpreters are likely to be required. We will discuss the specifics of your team, as well as potential unique language needs and their impact on the size of your interpreter team on an individual basis.
Mentoring: At YourVolution we approach our work with a community focus. Recognizing a great need for growth in the number of professionals who truly care about and develop their work and skills, part of our approach entails nurturing newer interpreters as they develop into the highly qualified interpreter needed to appropriately work in the field. We value the Deaf community, our work, and our name in the community, so you can rest easy knowing these budding practitioners are always carefully screened prior to approving their participation on-site.
Mid-Event Coordination: We recognize that conference participants often change schedules once they are on site, so coordination doesn't end until the event concludes. YourVolution will work with the on-site coordinator to ensure that reasonable ADA accommodations are being provided, even with last minute changes.
Standard Payment Policies

Standard Payment Policies
- Fees: Taking into account the duration and complexity of the conference as well as number of Deaf attendees, we will proactively work with you on managing costs for interpretation. By the way, did you know that accountants can advise you on how to favorably handle legally required ADA accommodations, including ASL interpretation, on your organization's taxes?
- Cancellations: Advance notice is required to cancel scheduled services without being billed.
- Payment: Upon scheduling services an invoice will be emailed to you. Payment may be made via ACH/Bank transfer or check. Fifty percent (50%) of the invoice is due prior to start of the event. The remaining 50% is due within seven (7) days of event completion.
- Timely Payment Discount: A three percent (3%) discount will be given with payment in full prior to start of the event.
