Language Brokering

Language brokering refers to situations in which bilingual individuals step in to facilitate communication between people who don’t share a language. It’s not just translating words—it’s interpreting meaning, bridging cultures, and helping families and community members navigate systems in a world where systemic language barriers still exist. 😤

Language brokers are the often overlooked heroes and immigrant communities that serve a variety of roles and do the best they can with their developing bilingualism. 💓
