ASL classes · Starting October 7
Let’s learn closer to home.
We are working to create accessible local ASL education for families, caregivers, educators, community members, and anyone who wants to communicate more inclusively.
How a class works
Families learn together.
Classes are designed to include instruction and involvement from Deaf community members, ASL professionals, volunteers, and educators, creating opportunities for both language learning and meaningful cultural connection.
Our classes are open to everyone, with a special commitment to making ASL education accessible to families raising Deaf and hard-of-hearing children. Parents and caregivers learn alongside their children.
