As part of our strategy to hear all voices and honor the wisdom of all staff, we provide interpretation (spoken) and translation (written) for day-to-day activities and programming. Our bilingual staff members interpret between Spanish and English during morning meetings, safety trainings, team check-ins, research presentations, and agricultural educational workshops, as well as during daily operations in the field, wash and pack facility, or greenhouse. As needed, we hire interpreters and translators.
Staff Development / Language Classes
We coordinate optional English and Spanish classes for all staff throughout the year. The Farm Hub’s Agriculture Education Training Program also offer professional development for our staff such as computer skills classes and the Farmscape Ecology Program offers bilingual ecology walks .
