Why Be a Language Assistant?

The Language Assistant Stipend Pilot Program is designed to assist staff members who require linguistic assistance in interacting with our student body. Staff members whose role regularly interacts with students and/or their families will be prioritized. By agreeing to serve in this capacity staff members may be called upon to, on occasion, serve in a language assistant role for other offices.

The Language Assistant Stipend Pilot Program will compensate qualified language assistants with a stipend of $1,500 per year, and paid month-over-month as supplemental pay for a duration of 12-months.
