Marshallese Interpreting for Community Inclusion (MICI)

The Marshallese Interpreting for Community Inclusion (MICI) project, is a collaboration among Partners, the Marshallese Educational Initiative (MEI) in Northwest AR, and SeSo, Inc. from Georgia. It is funded by the Arkansas Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities.

The goal of MICI is to reduce communication barriers to accessing disability supports and services in the Arkansas Marshallese community by providing training and information that is communicated in culturally and linguistically appropriate methods.

MICI hosts:

  • Trainings for Marshallese Interpreters
  • Intercultural Trainings on Marshallese Culture and History for Disability service providers
  • MICI Network events that are open to Marshallese interpreters, Disability service providers, and community members.
