Our connection

The Deaf / Hard of Hearing connectors

work together to connect people in their community

with people, social and health resources.

As trusted community members, they will

advocate, mentor, educate, reach out and help

their community access the services and resources they need.

 

In addition, they help members of their community gain

knowledge, information, and support. 

If you would like to be a part of the team,

please get in touch with us!

“Every one of us is different in some way, but for those of us who are more different,

we have to put more effort into convincing the less different

that we can do the same thing they can, just differently.”

- Marlee Matlin
