Project details
What we need
- Specific copy from one document (up to 1000 words) translated from one language to one other of the Organization's choice
- Note: If you need more than 1000 words translated or copy translated into more than one language, please post additional versions of this project
Additional details
Translation of a student survey (825 words) from English to primary languages of our participants, specifically Cape Verdean Creole, Haitian Creole, and Mandarin.
What we have in place
- We currently have an English version of the survey, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a website and social media accounts, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,098 , allowing us to better serve the participants in our program, respond to their language needs, and more accurately reflect a participants experience in our program.
Students whose primary language is one other than English find this survey challenging to complete. This is a part of our program evaluation process and having the tool available in multiple languages will ensure that we are more accurately capturing our participants' experiences. Otherwise, we struggle to secure interpretation assistance in the moment and/or ask participants to do their best even if they don't understand, risking inaccurate data.

Our mission
The Strong Women, Strong Girls (SWSG) mission is to empower girls to imagine a broader future through a curriculum grounded on female role models, delivered by college women mentors, who are themselves mentored by professional women. Our vision is that every girl and woman will realize her inner strengths to dream, and do.
What we do
Girls in Boston, particularly girls of color, face a challenging future including high rates of poverty, violence, and mental health challenges. While we cannot prevent a girl from facing these challenges, we can arm each girl with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to face them head-on. One straightforward solution is providing girls with supportive mentoring relationships. Youth with mentors demonstrate higher self-esteem, better performance in school, and greater aspirations for college and career, all of which keep girls on track to pursue their dreams. Unfortunately, only 33.5% of Boston youth have their mentoring needs met (Mass Mentoring Partnership, 2010). Since 2004, SWSG has been dedicated to filling this gap in youth mentoring services for girls in Greater Boston by delivering a standardized core after-school mentoring program that serves over hundreds of girls (ages 8-11) each year.
