CCHCP recently welcomed Foundation for International Understanding Through Students (FIUTS) students from across Africa who are leading impactful projects in their communities. Their dedication to positive change is truly inspiring!

Last October and November, we had the privilege of collaborating with the Cambodian Family Center (cambodianfamily.org) to provide their dedicated staff with two specialized programs: the 40-hour Bridging the Gap Medical Interpreting curriculum and the 24-hour Mental Health Interpreting curriculum. The in-person portion of the training took place at our Seattle office, and it was such a joy to meet their team face-to-face! The energy, dedication, and enthusiasm they brought to the training made it an unforgettable experience. We’re so grateful for opportunities to partner with amazing community organizations like this, working together to build stronger, more connected communities.
