Underserved Interpreters Initiative: 

Launched in Fall 2012, the Underserved Mentor Project serves mentors and mentees living within the GURIEC 14 state region, geared toward people who are members of an ethnic and/or cultural minority, or living in a rural area. Preference was given to one mentor/one mentee per state. Applications are closed, but the work is ongoing!
