December 16, 2024 - In the spirit of the holidays and beyond, Interpreters Unlimited (IU), a leading Language Service Provider, embraces the culture of giving back, reminding all of the profound impact even the smallest acts of generosity can have on individuals and communities. With a longstanding commitment to social responsibility, the company aims to inspire others to join the movement of kindness, creating a ripple effect of positive change that extends far beyond the holiday season.
As the world faces countless challenges, IU understands the importance of compassion and the sense of connection it fosters. Acts of giving, whether large or small, serve as a beacon of hope, reminding us of our shared humanity and the strength found in unity. While the holiday season is a time that naturally brings these values to the forefront, IU believes giving back is a year-round endeavor. By making kindness a consistent practice, individuals and businesses alike can touch countless lives and inspire others to pay it forward.
IU emphasizes that the power of giving lies in its accessibility. A grand gesture isn’t required to make a difference. Volunteering time, donating to a charity, or anything that seems like the simplest act of kindness can create a meaningful impact in someone’s life. The company encourages everyone to recognize their ability to spark change and to embrace the collective strength that comes from shared efforts, no matter the scale, every little act matters and makes a difference.
In the past year, IU’s dedication to social responsibility was recognized for their ongoing commitment to creating positive change both locally and globally. The company was named an Honoree for Outstanding Social Responsibility in the San Diego Business Journal Nonprofit and Citizenship Awards. They were also named the Best in Biz Awards International Most Socially Responsible Company of the Year Silver Winner. These accolades highlight the company’s steadfast efforts to lead by example, underscoring their belief in the importance of giving back and making the world a better place.
From giving 2% of most contract revenue back to local charities to volunteering with food banks and homeless shelters, assisting refugee families assimilate to their new homes here in the US, to working with PATH (People Assisting the Homeless) providing housing, food, medical/street outreach programs, mental health support and more to the homeless, IU is involved in so much. This giving back includes mentoring 100’s of up-and-coming entrepreneurs in the business community through SBA SCORE and the Chairman’s Roundtable, and inspiring and preparing young San Diegans to succeed and become future leaders in business through Junior Achievement San Diego.
IU works with NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) providing free language services for their NORAD Tracks Santa Program, translating their website into 8 languages along with doing their foreign language voiceover support for the Santa Tracker Phone Hotline and has a Paid Time Off Volunteer Program where every employee gets 3 additional PTO days per year to take time off to volunteer for good causes of their choice. Team members have done everything from planting trees in areas destroyed by wildfires to cleaning up local neighborhoods and beaches.
Interpreters Unlimited invites businesses and individuals to join them in embracing the spirit of giving back, not just during the holidays, but year-round. Whether through volunteering, donations, or everyday random acts of kindness, every little thing contributes to a larger movement of generosity and compassion. Together, these actions have the power to make a lasting impact, creating a world that is more connected, caring, and hopeful for all. IU encourages everyone to help make the world a better place during and beyond the holidays, brighten someone’s day any way you can, it makes a difference.
