Looking to host your own orientation?
Thank you for your interest in volunteering as a letter translator! Before you get started, we ask all new volunteers to attend a brief orientation. This will help you understand our translation guidelines, learn best practices, and ensure a smooth process for both you and the students we serve.
What to Expect in Your Orientation:
✅ An overview of Common Hope’s sponsorship program
✅ Tips for accurately and sensitively translating student letters
✅ A walkthrough of how to receive and submit letters
✅ A chance to ask questions and connect with our team
If for any reason you can not attend one of the listed events above, please sign up for an individual orientation with a suggested time that works for you.
We’re so grateful for your help in keeping these special connections alive—thank you for being part of this work!
