2026 Nebraska Latino Youth Summit

2026 Nebraska Latino Youth Summit

The Executive Director of the Nebraska Commission on Latino-Americans invited Language Access to highlight interpreter services, the Interpreter Certification Pathway, and career opportunities within the Judicial Branch. The summit hosted approximately 700 high school students from across Nebraska who are exploring educational pathways, careers, and opportunities to serve their communities. This event presented an excellent opportunity to:

  • Increase awareness of court and probation interpreter services.
  • Engage directly with Latino youth who may have an interest in public service careers.
  • Strengthen relationships with community organizations and educators serving Nebraska's Latino population.
  • Support the Judicial Branch's ongoing efforts to recruit diverse and qualified professionals.
