Translate It Forward

More Than Translating. A Transformation.

Translate It Forward is my passion project to create real access where it’s needed most—
especially for those with limited resources.

Translate It Forward provides free or subsidized ASL translations, guidance, and consulting to break down communication barriers. This empowers Deaf youth, families, non-profits, and community organizations across Canada.

This isn’t just about translation. It’s about building confidence, fostering inclusion, and inspiring the next generation of Deaf leaders and advocates.

My Mission:
Empowering Through Access

Your support fuels a growing movement centred on:

Deaf youth empowerment and education
Family connection through natural ASL
Inclusive communities where everyone is seen and heard
Entrepreneurship and opportunity in the Deaf world

Together, we’re turning barriers into bridges—
one translation at a time.

How Translate It Forward Works

Applications Open: Deaf youth, parents, non-profits, schools, or small organizations apply for free/subsidized ASL translations (e.g., educational videos, family resources, community announcements).
Create Impact: Selected projects receive professional, culturally authentic ASL content—at no or low cost.
Your Support Funds It: Proceeds from paid client work and direct contributions make these projects possible.

Real examples of impact (coming soon as projects launch):

Free ASL story videos for Deaf children learning language at home
Subsidized accessibility translations for non-profit events
Mentorship resources for young Deaf entrepreneurs

Make a One-Time Donation

Direct contributions subsidize projects for those who need it most.
Here’s what your gift can do:

$50-100: Funds ~1-2 minutes of professional ASL translation (e.g., a short vocabulary clip)
$250: Funds ~5 minutes (e.g., a full educational segment or story intro)
$500+: Funds a larger segment or helps cover a full small project

Any amount makes a difference!

Note: Translate It Forward is a personal passion project (not a registered charity), so contributions are heartfelt gifts to support this work. I’m unable to issue official tax receipts for charitable donations.
