DBII 2018 is Open for Applications

5/9/2018

What better way to celebrate midweek than with the launch of the 2018 DeafBlind Interpreting Institute (DBII) call for applications?!

This training opportunity is the first of its kind, and we are grateful to the amazing DeafBlind leaders/teachers/trainers/mentors who are partnering with DBI to make this week a reality! Under the direction of DeafBlind leaders, this week-long, protactile and ASL immersion-based environment, will provide hands on experience, mentorship, and learning opportunities that will better prepare you to interpret with the DeafBlind community using protactile ASL.

We anticipate a high volume of interest in this training and can only admit a total of 35 participants for the 2018 cohort, so be sure to get your application in early and answer all questions completely.

Call for applications will close on Thursday, May 24th at 5PM PST. Check out the application page for full details!

Protactile Language Interpreting National Education Program strives to be a culturally-responsive program. We acknowledge that our work happens within systems that often perpetuate discrimination based on race, gender, and disability. We affirm the need for ongoing self-reflection and analysis as a project and as individuals who are doing this work. Systems of inequity will not be dismantled on their own, but instead through purposeful planning and action. To that end, PLI is committed to continuous improvement and welcomes feedback related to your experience.
