We are a group of young certified court and medical interpreters dedicated to helping our fellow African immigrants navigate the American legal, medical, and social systems — in their own language, with dignity.
Jollof Interpretation Services is an independent contractor interpretation service based in New York City. We are a group of young certified court and medical interpreters who understand firsthand the challenges facing African immigrants in the United States.
We speak your language — literally and culturally. Our team provides French, Wolof, and Pulaar interpretation for West African immigrants navigating American legal, medical, academic, and social systems. We serve NYC and all 50 states.
Every person deserves to be understood — no matter what language they speak or where they come from.
