Sonshine School
Purpose/Cause/Passion: We provide excellent ASL interpreters who love Jesus for events, music, and media that equip Deaf people for life and ministry.
Our Niche: Developing Jesus-loving interpreters to provide access for Deaf communities within Christian events, music, and media.
Sonshine Interpreting highly values the training and discipleship of Christian Interpreters SO THAT we provide excellent interpreting that equips Deaf people for life and ministry. In 2024 we created our 10 year vision. By 2035, Sonshine Interpreting will foster a network of 1,000 Jesus-loving interpreters equipped with professional development and mentorship opportunities. To reach our goal, we started offering 4 types of virtual development under “Sonshine School”.

Sonshine Interpreting values the development of both hearing and Deaf interpreters. For all workshops, presenters will select their primary communication language (e.g., English or ASL), and Sonshine will provide interpreters to ensure full inclusion. We represent a wide range of Christian denominations, centered on the tenets of the Nicene Creed. Opinions and views shared by presenters are their own and do not necessarily represent those of Sonshine Interpreting.
