NLSC Members are a part of a unique language network of
service-minded individuals available to serve in response to a national need. Many
join the organization in an effort to help their language community and the
U.S. government. As the program has expanded, many Members express interest in
serving wherever they are needed. With a growing program and over 3,600
language volunteers, everyone may not have an opportunity to volunteer their
language skills on an NLSC assignment. And for this reason, the NLSC offers several
exclusive Member benefits including:
o
Exclusive Access to Language Professional Development
Resources through the NLSC 24/7 Member Center: The 24/7 Language
Resource offers numerous language links, articles, and a long list of language
resources. Members have access to LangNet for sustainment and enhancement
training in dozens of languages up to an Interagency Language Roundtable (ILR)
Level IV.
o
Generous discounts thorough a national program which can save Members up to 60%
on ticketed events, online shopping, and more.
o
Volunteer Stipend
while on Assignment: Members
selected for NLSC assignments become temporary Federal Hires and receive
compensation.
o

NLSC Members and staff via NLSC Meet & Greet events.
o

Government language proficiency test or an Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI).
o
Participation in
Language Assignments: Members who volunteer may be selected to participate in

serving
This list serves to highlight some of the many benefits
available to Members, however, it is a fact, some Members just want to be a
part of an organization that appreciates language and cultural diversity. Band
with the NLSC Members, and know that you are a part of something greater.
