Supporting Those Affected by the Wildfires
Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by the ongoing wildfires in and around LA County. SCRID is available to offer humble help during this difficult time. We want to remind you that our Catastrophic Need Fund is available to offer some support to those in need. If you have been affected, we encourage you to submit an application for assistance.
For those who are able, donations to the fund are always appreciated and provide meaningful support.

Who We Are
SCRID is an affiliate chapter of the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID). We are run by a volunteer service leadership of local members and are always interested in growing our leadership pool.
What We Do
It is the mission of the Southern California Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf to promote best practices, equity, and representation within the profession of Sign Language Interpreting; provide professional development and education for current and future practitioners; serve as a forum for ongoing assessment of and response to community needs; and, advocate to the public for the highest standards in the provision of interpreting services for users of both sign languages and spoken languages.
Contact Us
Leadership may be contacted via email and we will follow up with you within one week.
Board Meetings Open to All
SCRID holds quarterly open board meetings and we want to hear from you! During board meetings we set aside time that gives members the opportunity to raise discussion points on anything relevant to SCRID and our interpreting profession.
What questions do you have related to interpreting that would be beneficial to discuss as a community?
What would you like to see from SCRID that would raise its relevance to you and our local profession?
This is opportunity for members to get involved and create the relevant organization we all desire!
[Watch for Times and Zoom Links above]
SCRID is always in need of volunteers to serve on various committees for a few hours a month.
If you're interested, email president@scrid.org.
