Language Access

Everyone should have the opportunity to understand, access and engage with Prince William County’s programs and services.

The Office of Communications and Engagement leads the County’s language access efforts by working with departments to improve communication and engagement with residents who speak languages other than English. This work supports the County's 2025–2028 Strategic Plan Service Delivery goal, which states the County’s commitment to reducing barriers and developing communication avenues and processes to ensure all residents can participate and thrive in the community.

Our goal is to help make County information and services easier to understand through interpretation, translation, multilingual communication, and other language access best practices.

What We Do

The Office of Communications and Engagement works with County departments to:

• Identify language access needs across County services
• Support interpretation and translation efforts
• Improve multilingual communication and public outreach
• Develop language access guidance and resources
• Help make County information more accessible and encourage engagement for everyone

As Prince William County’s Language Access Program grows, this page will continue to expand with additional information and resources.
