Find Community Events in Somerville, MA

Celebrating 15 years of empowering bilingual women, advancing language access, and building a thriving interpreter workforce. Join Found in Translation as we celebrate 15 years of empowering bilingual women, advancing language access, and building a thriving interpreter workforce. This special anniversary event will bring together alumnae, students, staff, funders, community partners, and supporters for an evening of cultural and linguistic celebration, inspiring stories, live entertainment, and community connection. Together, we'll honor the interpreters who make language access possible, celebrate the rich linguistic and cultural diversity of our community, and raise critical funds to support the next generation of language professionals. Guests will enjoy multicultural performances, interactive experiences, delicious food, and opportunities to learn how language access creates more equitable healthcare, education, and public services for all. Come celebrate 15 years of voices heard, barriers broken, and lives transformed—and help us build a future where everyone can be understood. Tickets are on a sliding scale. There is no wrong choice: higher tiers help support others, and lower tiers ensure access for everyone. Please select the ticket tier feels right to you. All tickets get the same access to the event. Children five and under are free, but still need a ticket. Important note: If cost is a barrier to your attendance (especially if you are an alumna), please reach out. We will be able to provide complimentary tickets to some community members. If you are unable to join us but would still like to support our 15th Anniversary event, you can select the 'Donation' tier or donate on our website. Please note that all of our events are fragrance-free. Please avoid wearing perfumes, colognes, and scented products to help create an accessible and comfortable environment for everyone. Our Mission Found in Translation, located in Boston, Massachusetts, has a two-fold mission: • To give low-income bilingual women an opportunity to achieve economic security through the use of their language skills • To reduce racial, ethnic, and linguistic disparities in health care by unleashing bilingual talent into the workforce
