National Language Service Corps (NLSC)

The National Language Service Corps (NLSC) is a congressionally authorized program that provides U.S. Federal agencies with vital language, regional expertise, and cultural support. When a critical language need arises, the NLSC taps its members to support Government agencies through translation, interpretation, instruction, and cultural advising. The NLSC’s highly skilled membership of more than 12,000 language professionals offers expertise in over 500 languages and dialects. In turn, members benefit from a wide variety of professional training, testing, and networking opportunities provided by the NLSC. If you are a multilingual U.S. citizen and 18 years of age or older, we want you to join our membership. To learn more, visit https://nlscorps.org/membership. The NLSC serves more than 70 partners spanning the entire U.S. Government. The program is sponsored by the Department of Defense, administered by the Defense Language and National Security Education Office (DLNSEO), and governed and advised by the National Security Education Board (NSEB).
