Deaf Youth and Friends

The Deaf Youth Program (DYFP) provides meaningful opportunities for deaf and hard of hearing youth to connect socially with their peers and members of the Deaf community. We proudly welcome all children and teens, ages 18 and under, to participate in our events, which are offered at little to no cost to families.

In addition to social activities, the DYFP works to break down communication barriers by offering American Sign Language (ASL) classes for families and friends of deaf or hard of hearing youth. These classes help foster understanding, connection, and inclusion.
