Company Description

At colorado language services, we are a team of internationals, and immigrants serving our community to bridge language barriers. Colorado Language Services provides full-service interpretation and translation for private and public organizations including government, legal, medical, social services, and educational settings. Our interpreters are vital to the community because many residents of Aurora and the greater Denver metro are non-English speakers.

The founder of Colorado Language Services is a refugee from Ethiopia with over 10 years of experience in the language service industry. She also served 6 years on the Aurora Immigrant and Refugee Commission. Furthermore, all of our staff are from refugee and immigrant backgrounds with extensive work experience with the international and immigrant populations. As a result, we are able to provide many dialects of major languages.
