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.
