Global Wordsmiths provides low-cost, high-quality language translation, localization and interpretation services in the Greater Pittsburgh Area. As a Social Enterprise, Global Wordsmiths was founded on the guiding principals that all people deserve access to services, that our linguists deserve quality jobs, and that we must give back to our communities. In order to achieve these goals, Global Wordsmiths is committed to the following core programs: - A percentage of all Global Wordsmiths' profits are donated directly to local agencies and nonprofits working to support the region's immigrant and refugee populations, - Any interpreter or staff member working on at least a weekly, ongoing basis will be converted to employee status and granted benefit options, - Global Wordsmiths will develop a Volunteer Initiative that will provide eager student volunteers with comprehensive interpreter training, field experience and professional references in exchange for volunteer hours.
