Core Circles

What Are Core Circles?
Core Circles are safe spaces provided by the NDI as part of its mission to create communities among certified Deaf interpreters/Deaf interpreters.
As part of NDI’s broader mission to build strong, inclusive professional networks, Core Circles offer a safe and affirming environment where Deaf interpreters can come together to share experiences, explore challenges, and support one another’s personal and professional development.
​
Whether you're looking to deepen your understanding of the field, seek mentorship, or simply connect with others who share your journey, Core Circles are designed to nurture community and promote a sense of belonging within the interpreting profession. These gatherings center Deaf interpreters’ voices, encourage collaboration, and create space for honest, empowering dialogue.
