Mission.
Heart Language Cooperative advances language justice by providing interpretation, translation, and consulting services.
We are a worker-owned cooperative based in Lexington, Kentucky. Our approach to language access services is rooted in language justice. Language justice is the right to communicate in the language you feel most connected to — your heart language. Your heart language is the language or languages you feel most comfortable in, in which you best express yourself.

Why does simultaneous interpreting matter?
We offer simultaneous interpreting, which levels the playing field in group meetings, such as grassroots organizations, neighborhood associations, and civic assemblies without costing groups extra time.
We offer training and consulting on how to achieve functional multi-lingual spaces.
