About Our Volunteer Services
Aggie Translators & Interpreters is a student-run volunteer organization. Our services are provided by USU students who are developing their translation and interpreting skills through club training and community service. We make every effort to fulfill requests and connect requesters with an appropriate volunteer; however, service availability is not guaranteed. A request may not be fulfilled if a qualified volunteer is unavailable for the requested language, date, time, location, or type of service. For situations requiring a certified or specialized professional, requesters should use an appropriately qualified professional service.
