BRIDGING COMMUNICATION ACCESS SINCE 2008

Support Our Mission

Our mission is rooted in empowerment, awareness, and fostering equitable access to communication. Through our four core programs – Access, Community, Education, and Outreach – we strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals in the deaf, hard of hearing, and DeafBlind community. Your support helps us continue this vital work. 

Our Access Services is dedicated to ensuring equitable access to essential resources and opportunities, dismantling communication barriers for the deaf, hard of hearing and DeafBlind. We firmly believe that access is not a privilege, but a fundamental right for all.
